Stratton No2 Charitable Fund

The Stratton No2 Charitable Fund is a family-governed discretionary trust with a mission to advance public benefit through responsive grants to registered charities delivering frontline services. Rooted in prudent stewardship, trustees' collective judgement, and an ethos of practical charitable impact, it prioritizes direct service delivery over policy advocacy or research, believing sustainable wellbeing arises from flexible, unrestricted support enabling organizations to address immediate needs of vulnerable populations with efficiency and compassion.

It funds health services including paediatric care at children's hospitals, cancer support through Maggie's centres and blood cancer initiatives, palliative care in hospices, and international medical aid via Medicins Sans Frontieres for disaster relief; disability interventions such as therapeutic riding for physical disabilities, wheelchair sports enabling inclusive participation, and adaptive activities for disabled adults and children; veterans' mental health through Combat Stress counselling and trauma-informed support for wounded veterans; emergency response via air ambulance trusts and RNLI life-saving operations; offender rehabilitation programs fostering reintegration; and practical core costs sustaining day services, residential care, peer support groups, and outreach for isolated patients, disabled people, ex-service personnel, and families facing health crises. Emphasizing person-centred therapeutic activities, respite care, and community-based emergency preparedness, it targets improved wellbeing, independence, and resilience for beneficiaries with complex health needs, physical disabilities, mental health challenges, and rehabilitation requirements.

Exclusions encompass grants to individuals, policy work, research projects, or innovative large-scale initiatives, focusing instead on established frontline charities providing direct services. Distinctive for family-led discretion without publicity, it prioritizes UK-wide organizations serving local communities, national networks, and select international efforts in health crises, with niche emphasis on veterans' recovery, disability sports and mobility, emergency lifesaving, offender resettlement, and hospice end-of-life care for marginalised groups like disabled people, trauma survivors, and chronic illness patients seeking holistic, practical relief.
