Overview

The Souter Charitable Trust supports projects engaged in the relief of human suffering in all its aspects in the UK and overseas – especially, but not exclusively, those with a Christian emphasis and ethos.

Criteria

Grants are restricted to UK registered charities only. Current legislation does not permit the trustees to give direct grants to overseas organisations as they are unable to carry out the due diligence required of them.

Small grants may be awarded for gap year / short term projects which extend to at least one calendar year.

Whilst there are no minimum or maximum amounts given an average grant would be a small one off in the region of £1,000 - £3,000.

All grants are made at the discretion of the Trustees and their decision is final.

Previous Grants

The Trust has supported thousands of projects. In the last year the Trust has supported a variety of projects in 86 countries worldwide.

Details of some of these projects can be found here
