C B and H H Taylor 1984 Trust

The C B and H H Taylor 1984 Trust, a family-founded charitable trust rooted in Quaker heritage, pursues a mission to advance peacebuilding, social justice, poverty relief, and sustainable development through support for Quaker initiatives, West Midlands community welfare, and overseas humanitarian efforts. Core values of stewardship, ethical partnership, practical relief, and intergenerational equity drive funding decisions, emphasizing project-specific interventions that foster capacity building, social inclusion, and community empowerment. They believe transformative change arises from aligning lived Quaker principles—peace, justice, and humanitarian service—with sustainable, partnership-led actions addressing root causes of disadvantage.

Funding prioritizes Quaker-led peacebuilding and social justice programs including human rights advocacy, conflict resolution, and ethical activism; West Midlands community initiatives tackling poverty alleviation, social welfare, family support, carer respite, and integration for disadvantaged urban families, youth facing exclusion, elderly isolation, and ethnic minorities in areas of food insecurity and social cohesion; overseas development projects delivering education programs, health interventions, humanitarian emergency aid, and relief work for children, families, and communities in India, Madagascar, and sub-Saharan Africa confronting poverty, malnutrition, disease, and educational barriers. Supported activities encompass capacity building training, community-led outreach, peer support networks, therapeutic reconciliation efforts, sustainable agriculture, skills development for youth employment, and inclusive health clinics promoting preventative care, trauma-informed relief, and long-term resilience through evidence-based, grassroots interventions.

Exclusions encompass general core costs, microfinance schemes overseas, individual aid, and non-UK charities, focusing instead on UK-based organizations with Quaker-aligned ethics or strong regional ties. Distinctive priorities favor beneficiaries in West Midlands urban poverty pockets—families in crisis, isolated elderly, youth at risk—and global south communities needing education, health, and relief, with a niche for practical peacebuilding, humanitarian partnerships, and sustainable inclusion reflecting familial Quaker stewardship and preference for community-led, impact-reporting projects over top-down approaches.
