Overview
Red Hill Charitable Trust, which publishes its guidance as The Redhill Trust, funds education and training for young people under 25 with emotional or behavioural difficulties. Grants must be allocated for educational or training purposes, or to facilitate access to such opportunities. That may encompass therapies, wellbeing programmes and nurturing environments, including equipment. Grant amounts typically range from £2,000 to £7,000, they are awarded to organisations and not individuals, and they may only be awarded for one year projects. Its criteria say supported projects must be located in the South East region, which it defines as Kent, East and West Sussex, Surrey and South East London postcodes, so trustees can visit in person. The register lists a wider set of areas, adding Hampshire and Essex, so ask if you are near the edge. Trustees convene twice a year, in March and October, and applications should be submitted by 1 February or 1 September to ensure consideration.
