Grant News
The Charles Plater Trust is currently offering grants of up to £5,000 through its 2025 Small Grants Programme.
Open to registered charities in England and Wales, the programme supports year-long initiatives that tackle needs and problems in parishes, deprived communities, and marginalised groups. It focuses on issues such as poverty, social exclusion, economic inequality, and environmental challenges.
To be eligible, organisations must have annual incomes below £100,000.
While applicants are not required to be of the Catholic faith, their applications must align with the Trust's Catholic Social Teaching values.
Collaborative applications are also encouraged.
Previously supported projects include an ex-offender employment club to help integrate BAME young people back into society, a pastoral ministry for those living with HIV, and a charity which trains first responders to provide life-saving aid to victims of knife crime.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on the 9th October 2025.
Applicants are informed of the decision by 19th December 2025.
