The Southall Trust prioritises grants to registered charities. However, if your organisation is not a registered charity but is legally-constituted with a clearly defined charitable purpose that strongly matches at least one of our categories, then please contact us before applying. We may consider an exception.

When contacting us, please explain: (1) why your organisation is not a registered charity; (2) how it is constituted; (3) and why you believe the Southall Trust should consider an application from your organisation. 

We will occasionally consider applications from organisations with charitable purposes, such as Social Enterprises, Community Interest Companies (CICs) and Community Benefit Societies. These must be constituted for the benefit of the general public (rather than individual members) and with an 'asset lock' in place.

Based upon the responses provided, your organisation is eligible to apply for funding from the Southall Trust.
