The W G Edwards Charitable Foundation is an independent grant-making charity, which assists with the provision of care and aims to improve the wellbeing of people over the age of 65 in the UK. This small Foundation gives grants to refurbishment; equipment; innovative schemes for ongoing care; and projects which help people live active and fulfilling lives.
The aim of the Foundation is to improve quality of life and Trustees consider applications which will make a difference to people over the age of 65. The Foundation supports registered charities which promote a proactive approach to physical and mental wellbeing. Trustees make donations to charitable causes at their discretion, within carefully considered criteria laid down by the Founder.
Grants are given to UK-based charities that can demonstrate how they are making peoples’ lives better. We are unable to support individuals, groups of people under the age of 65 or overseas projects.
The Foundation award funds to UK charities which have, for at least three years, been registered with the:
- Charity Commission for England and Wales
- Regulator for Charities in Northern Ireland
- Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator
