George & Thomas Henry Salter Trust

Helping the people of Sandwell.

The George & Thomas Salter Trust offers grants for people who have lived in Sandwell for more than 3 years, who are in financial difficulty. The Trust is also able to make grants for organisations and providers who support, enrich and nurture local people in Sandwell who are vulnerable, lonely, disabled or in financial difficulty.

The George & Thomas Salter Trust is able to help with funding to advance education. We provide grants for individual students, Sandwell schools and specific projects such as reading schemes.

The Trustees firmly believe that education is an ongoing lifetime journey, which should not be limited by age, finance or background.

The Trust also make grants to sports clubs, amateur dramatics, physical activity providers, local theatre groups and social clubs.

Relief in need

 

We offer grants for the purchase of essential white goods and/or furniture for people living in the Sandwell Borough Council area.

We also offer grants to organisations who support vulnerable people in the Sandwell Borough Council Area.

Advancement of education

 

We offer grants to students starting their Higher Education journey - including Open University, their Further Education routes, apprentices who require specific equipment and clothing, and we help with the purchase of musical instruments.

We also offer grants for schools for specific projects, such as Forest School, expansion of libraries, extra reading projects during the pandemic and quiet rooms which they otherwise would be unable to pursue.
