Overview
Childwick Trust gives in three areas: healthcare, the Jewish community, and horse racing. In healthcare it has a strong emphasis on charities which offer care and support for people, prioritising adults with mental health issues, with learning or physical disabilities, or who have a serious illness. It also names people who are terminally ill, the elderly, and veterans, and offers funding towards specialist equipment, respite care, education and core costs. It considers applications from Jewish charities that help the elderly, disabled adults, and children and young people. The major portion of its horse racing funding goes to the welfare of those in need within the racing industry. Its healthcare guidance says grants typically range from £5,000 to £20,000, and its funding windows are open for the months of April and October.
