Ramar Charitable Settlement

The Ramar Charitable Settlement is a grant-making charitable trust with a mission centered on relieving suffering and poverty while advancing education, concentrating resources where they most alleviate hardship, disadvantage, and barriers to learning. Guided by values of compassion, equity, and responsible stewardship, it prioritizes pragmatic humanitarianism, empowering vulnerable groups through targeted support to charities delivering tangible relief and opportunity. Its impact approach favors sustainable change via direct interventions that address root causes of need, foster equity, and enable educational access, partnering with organizations demonstrating strong track records in basic welfare and empowerment.

It supports projects benefiting children and young people facing poverty and educational exclusion, elderly people experiencing isolation and hardship, people with disabilities including learning disabilities and physical disabilities, and individuals of particular ethnic or racial origins confronting discrimination or socioeconomic barriers. Funded activities encompass poverty relief through basic welfare interventions and food insecurity programs, health advancement via lifesaving initiatives and support for complex health needs, educational opportunities including training, after-school programs, and skills development for disadvantaged youth, direct service provision like day services, counselling, and therapeutic activities, core costs for grassroots charities delivering outreach and peer support groups, and community-led interventions promoting employment training, mentoring, and family support to prevent crisis and build resilience.

Exclusions include grants to individuals, capital projects, or large infrastructure builds, focusing solely on organizational efforts yielding direct impact. Distinctive for its flexible, values-led family trust model, it prioritizes charities serving society's most vulnerable—children in poverty, isolated elderly, disabled individuals, ethnic minorities—with a lean governance emphasizing transparent, policy-driven decisions. It uniquely bridges UK communities in hardship with select overseas aligned causes, valuing evidence-based, person-centred approaches that deliver practical relief, educational transformation, and holistic empowerment without duplication.
