Beatrice Laing Trust

No deadline

Financial support is given to a wide range of charities seeking to relieve poverty in its broadest sense, both throughout the UK and overseas. Grant recipients include:

• Organisations, many of them Christian organisations working to express their faith through practical action to help those in need, offering direct support to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in society, including:
  • the homeless
  • the elderly
  • former Servicemen and women
  • ex-offenders
• Charities providing practical services to people with physical, mental and learning difficulties and their families/carers. Examples include:
  • special schools seeking to develop and expand their facilities in order to enable them to meet the needs of people with increasingly complex disabilities
  • those involved in supporting young people with complex needs in the transition into adulthood, providing supported accommodation and opportunities for training/meaningful employment
  • those seeking to provide facilities for respite care

• Organisations providing opportunities for training and development to young people, in particular those who are disadvantaged or ‘at risk’.
• Small-scale overseas development projects aiming to build the capacity of local partners to develop long-term sustainable solutions to local problems in countries in the developing world.
