What does it fund? The trust looks to alleviate "poverty and misery" and support unpopular causes. That means it generally will not support projects for the elderly, children or animals. It does support work in the four broad areas of social welfare, therapeutic use of the arts, conservation and the environment. Among the elements singled out in the social welfare category are mental health, young offenders, and projects in disadvantaged communities that seek to make a long-term difference for young people.
Support for ethnic minorities, including refugees, is another priority, especially work aimed at integration.
