Core Funding
Core Funding
As part of the St Monica Trust 10-year strategy, we continue to focus on our three guiding principles of enabling connection, contribution and choice for older people.
One of our key strategic aims is to align our charitable giving more closely with our purpose. To support this, we regularly review our grant-making priorities based on what we’ve learned and the evolving needs of the sector. Research and ongoing engagement consistently highlight that core funding is the most urgent requirement for many charities.
This fund reflects our commitment to building communities where older people flourish, supported by a strong and resilient infrastructure.
Announcing successful grant recipients
We’re thrilled to announce that seven incredible organisations have been awarded Core Funding to support their vital work: Alive Activities, Age UK Bristol, Age UK South Gloucestershire, Bristol After Stroke, Swan Advice Network (B&NES), WE Care Home Improvements, and West of England Rural Network.
A huge thank you to everyone who applied, we received many fantastic expressions of interest and full applications. With limited funds, we could only support a few, but we truly appreciate the passion and dedication shown by all.
