Magdalen Hospital Trust

Background

The Magdalen Hospital Trust, a registered charity, was founded in February 1973 from the proceeds of the sale of the original Magdalen Hospital. This is a very small Trust which offers grants to other UK registered charities.

Objectives of Fund

The funding is intended to promote the welfare of young people under the age of 25 years, who suffer from various effects of social deprivation, abuse, mental and physical disabilities, inadequate housing, lack of education or training, and the problems derived from unemployment and broken families.

Value Notes

The Trust currently has an income of less than £50,000.

Grants tend to range from £500 to £2,000.

Grants are usually made on a one-off basis. Longer-term projects will be considered 'very occasionally'.

Who Can Apply

UK based charities and Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) registered in the UK with an annual unrestricted income of less than £150,000 can apply.

Charities should be working with vulnerable children and young adults, especially those at risk of sexual and other forms of exploitation.
