The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust which supports organisations working in any part of the UK. It funds a wide range of people and organisations working to build stronger communities. It supports work which tries to meet different needs of people at the margins of society.
The trust mainly funds:
- Smaller, community-led organisations which work directly with people who are at the margins of society: organisations which support positive changes in people’s lives and in their communities.
- Organisations working directly with people who are at the margins of society
- A focus on building stronger communities by overcoming isolation and fragmentation and encouraging inclusion, connection and integration
- Organisations which are embedded in their community and which can identify and channel the potential within that community – whether the local area or a ‘community of interest’
- Organisations which can demonstrate that they listen to and are responsive to their users
- Organisations which are thoughtful in their use of resources and which foster community resilience in the face of environmental, economic or social change
