The Talbot Trusts Funding Strategy 2025-26
Our grants are usually around £3,000 but we may occasionally award larger amounts of up to £5,000.
We generally make unrestricted grants which the organisations we fund can use in any way they want to support their work. These are given to charities and community organisations whose main focus is on improving the health and wellbeing of people in Sheffield and the surrounding areas.
We fund organisations whose work fits with at least one of our current priorities, which are:
- Reducing the impact of poverty with a focus on homelessness and insecure housing
- Preventing or reducing the impact of long-term health conditions by encouraging healthy choices and active lifestyles
- Improving health and wellbeing by encouraging connection with nature
We prioritise organisations which specifically target their support at disadvantaged and marginalised members of the community.
We also welcome applications from:
- organisations whose main focus is in a different area (e.g. arts, animal welfare, nature and the environment) but who have specific projects focused on improving people’s health and wellbeing
- organisations whose work is delivered across a wider geographic area which includes Sheffield (e.g. Yorkshire)
In these cases if the application is successful we will make a restricted grant which can only be used for certain projects or parts of an organisation’s work.
