The Mansion Trust
The Mansion Trust (UK) makes grants to both individuals and projects within the UK.
Individuals - Grants can be made for a wide variety of needs to people of any age who are in financial need, hardship or distress. Applicants must normally be resident in the UK to be eligable for assistance. The Trust mainly gives grants to relieve physical and mental illness, advance education beyond secondary school and can provide loans to Freemasons in need.
Please note that due to pressure on funds the Trustees have decided that help can only given once every two years to people resident in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland unless there are exceptional circumstances. Applications should be made though Leicester Charity Link using their application form.
Projects - The Trust can provide grants for Masonic and other charities that operate anywhere in the UK and who assist people that are in financial need, hardship or distress. Applications should be made in writing to The Clerk to the Trustees and include a copy of your most recent annual report and accounts. Applications should be forwarded to:

Rina and Zach were scared
Rina and Zach were desperate to escape the violence and threats they had experienced from Rina’s husband. Rina had been held hostage in her home and regularly beaten. A family member saw their plight and intervened so they could get away.
Over a six month period they had moved three times to protect themselves. Rina had been unable to go to work because of her injuries and was trying to survive on statutory sick pay. Rina and Zach found a safe place to live, but they had no furniture, beds, cooker or any household goods. Women’s Aid referred Rina and Zach to us for help.
We acted immediately and raised over £700 to purchase Rina and Zach the items that they desperately needed for their new home.
