The Application Boundary
In a typical year The Old Enfield Charitable Trust administers around £250K in discretionary grants to families, individuals and community groups residing and living within the boundary of EN1 EN2 and EN3 in the London Borough of Enfield. Grant decisions are taken on a quarterly basis by the fifteen Trustees that either live, work or otherwise have a good knowledge of the EN1 EN2 and EN3 in the London Borough of Enfield.
Applications are treated in the strictest confidence and you will be informed of the Trustees decision after the relevant grant’s meeting.
Personal Grants
These one off grants are for residents who cannot afford unexpected expenditure, including replacement or provision of household goods and furniture. The Trust will purchase basic new items on your behalf from its suppliers once your grant has been approved. Please note that the Trust does not award Monetary Grants.
Educational Grants
Students and residents undertaking education or training are invited to apply for assistance with living costs including equipment, childcare and other general expenses during their course of study. Students are expected apply for accessible funding from other sources, prior to seeking assistant from the Trust.
Community Grants
The Trust welcomes funding applications from community and grassroots projects within the Trust’s Parish that reflect the diversity and vibrancy of Enfield. Applications will be required to demonstrate the benefit to local residents in alignment with the Trusts key areas of interest such as Children and Education, Health, Environment, Active Lifestyles and others
