Makes grants to individuals
Support goes to people who need education, a way out of poverty, or help living with disability — not to a chain of programmes in between.
What we do
Grants that reach people in need
Tithe Charitable Trust makes grants and provides other finance so children, older people, and people with disabilities can access education, relief from poverty, and practical support in England, Wales, India.
Our work
Four purposes, one grant-making trust
The Charity Commission classifies our work as makes grants to individuals and provides other finance. Those gifts support education and training, the prevention or relief of poverty, disability, and general charitable purposes.
01
Grants to individuals
Direct support for children, older people, and others facing hardship.
02
Education and training
Skills, confidence, and a more secure future.
03
Relief of poverty
Practical help for people who cannot get by on their own.
04
Disability support
Help so people with disabilities can live with greater dignity.
How we work
A grant-making foundation
We do not run trading subsidiaries. Three unpaid trustees oversee the charity. Gifts are used to make grants and provide other finance, so help can reach people in need.
Provides other finance
Where a grant is not the right tool, the trust can provide other finance so the same purposes still reach children, older people, and the public.
- General charitable purposes
- Education and training
- Disability
- The prevention or relief of poverty
Grants to individuals
Support that goes to people, not programmes
Making grants to individuals is a core activity of Tithe Charitable Trust. A grant can fund education, relieve poverty, or help someone live with disability with greater dignity.
That is how a gift given in the United Kingdom can become practical help for a child, an older person, or a family in England, Wales, India.
- Direct to people in need
- Overseen by unpaid trustees
- Recorded as a CIO
Our purposes
Education, relief, and dignity
The Register of Charities lists these themes alongside general charitable purposes. Each one shapes who we help and how grants are used.
Education and training
We support education and training so people can build skills, confidence, and a more secure future for themselves and their families.
Relief of poverty
Preventing and relieving poverty is a core purpose of the trust. Grants help people who need food, shelter, or a way to get back on their feet.
Disability support
We help people with disabilities live with greater dignity, alongside our wider work for children, older people, and the public.
Who we help
People the register says we exist for
The Charity Commission records our beneficiaries as children and young people, elderly people, people with disabilities, the general public.
Children and young people
Grants can support learning, training, and a safer start when a family cannot meet those costs alone.
Elderly people
Older people are named on the public register, so support can reach those facing poverty, isolation, or disability later in life.
People with disabilities
Disability is both a theme of our work and a group we exist to help, so grants can fund practical support and greater dignity.
The general public
General charitable purposes mean help is not limited to one group when a grant would relieve hardship in the community.
Where we work
Support in England, Wales, and India
Grants are made so help can reach people in each recorded area of operation. Our registered office is in the United Kingdom.
England
Our registered office is in Horndon-on-the-Hill, and England is a core area of the charity’s work.
Wales
Wales is listed alongside England on the public register, so support can reach people across both nations.
India
The charity also works in India, extending education, poverty relief, and disability support beyond the UK.
