If your charity’s work falls within one of these categories and would like to be considered for a grant, please submit an application by 1st June or 1st November only in the appropriate year.  Please see How to Apply for further details.

Due to the increasing number of applications received on the deadlines, we would appreciate charities sending in applications as early as possible before the deadline. We then have plenty of time to request any additional information we might need.

Trustees' meetings are usually held between 4 and 6 weeks of the submission deadlines. A list of successful charities will be posted on the website as soon as possible after these meetings. Please check this list to see if your organisation has been successful as it takes some weeks for written confirmation to reach all applicants.

We cannot contact charities to confirm that we have received an application.  We will however endeavour to contact all charities to inform them whether or not they have been awarded a grant.

Applications for projects that do not fall within these categories are extremely unlikely to be considered.

Applications should be sent to the address on the Contact Details page.

The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust is a registered charity, Charity Registration No. 255274.
