Phase 2 is now open with grants of £10,000, £50,000 or £100,000 to be awarded – applications close August 6th 2021.

 

Charitable giving is at the heart of what we do – and has been for over 130 years. Now more than ever we are proud to be one of the largest corporate donors to charity in the UK¹, contributing to thousands of good causes in this country and abroad.

Our second phase of giving is open to eligible charities registered in the UK and Republic of Ireland with an income of less than £5m. To complement the breadth of causes supported by our £1,000 donations, we want our larger grants to go to charities supporting some very specific themes, which are:
