Roger & Douglas Turner Charitable Trust

The Roger & Douglas Turner Charitable Trust generally offers grants of £2,000 to £5,000 to registered charities in Birmingham, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and the Black Country (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton) for core, project or capital costs.

The trustees will consider supporting projects in the following areas:

Adults in need
Young people in need
Hospices
Mental health support
Poverty
Environment and heritage

Eligible expenditure includes specific project costs, capital costs and core costs. Specific staff salaries are not eligible for funding by the Roger & Douglas Turner Charitable Trust.

Charities can apply once in each calendar year, including after an unsuccessful application in the following calendar year. The Trust often considers supporting charities on a long-term basis, and if you become a regularly funded charity, Trustees will try to visit you every two years to check how your project/organisation is progressing.

Applications can be submitted at any time through the application forms. Download the relevant form and email it with supporting papers to grants@turnertrust.co.uk. The next advertised deadline is 6pm on 12 February 2027 for the 5 March 2027 meeting; later submissions carry forward.
