Elaine and Angus Lloyd Charitable Trust

The Elaine and Angus Lloyd Charitable Trust, established in 1964 and registered in England and Wales, is a family-founded grant-making trust guided by principles of broad philanthropic responsibility and public benefit. With no trustee remuneration and a governance structure blending family stewardship and professional oversight, it maintains a generalist mission to support any legally charitable purposes, emphasizing responsiveness to societal needs through pragmatic, outcome-focused funding. Its distinctive longevity and regional anchoring make it a steadfast partner for local impact in Kent and Surrey.

The Trust prioritizes health advancement and life-saving initiatives, disability support, and services for people with physical or mental challenges, alongside community wellbeing and aid for disadvantaged groups. It funds practical projects like health interventions, inclusion programs, and quality-of-life improvements for disabled individuals and vulnerable populations, typically via project funding, core costs, or occasional capital grants—favoring sustainable outcomes achievable within 12 months for grassroots organizations and charities delivering measurable local benefits.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups based in or serving Kent and Surrey, with a preference for small to medium-sized entities (annual income under £1 million, often much lower). Unsolicited applications are welcomed via cover letter detailing purpose, outcomes, budget, charitable status proof, and recent accounts, submitted to the registered address on a rolling basis. Trustee meetings occur 2-3 times yearly (spring, autumn, winter), with decisions taking several months; typical grants range from £1,000 to £20,000 (most £1,000-£5,000, averaging £3,000).

Unlike broader funders, it avoids national campaigns, advocacy, or speculative projects, focusing exclusively on proven, locally deliverable interventions in health, disability, and welfare—ideal for smaller Kent/Surrey groups seeking tangible, rapid-impact support.
