The Trust was founded 33 years ago to promote and defend human dignity. Our grant total was £5.7 million in 2022/23 and is expected to be over £6.5m in 2023/24.
Grants are made through three funding streams: An open programme, the special initiatives programme and the anchor programme.
The team works collaboratively and collegiately and shares a commitment to providing a professional grants programme and to being supportive to everyone who comes into contact with the Trust.

As the first point of contact for the organisation it will be key that you enjoy providing supportive communications, both over the phone and via email. We are committed to best practice and continuous learning and improvement, and the Grants Administrator will need to share these values.
