About the Trust
The John Laing Charitable Trust has been supporting charities since 1962. From small community groups to large national institutions, the Trustees’ aim is to support organisations that have effective work streams which will help solve the problems Trustees have identified and contribute to achieving the lasting impact they wish to achieve their strategic aims. Consequently, we will only work with charities that are aligned with our strategic aims. The Trustees have endorsed a pro-active funding strategy therefore until further notice, we only process invited applications.
