Len Pick Trust

The Trust is always excited to hear from local people and organisations who they can work with to make a difference in the town.

If you think a grant from the Len Pick Trust would help your organisation or project then get in touch with them.

The grants are given to charities or voluntary bodies working with children, young people, the elderly or with the many other people living in Bourne.

Trustees are experienced in the successful delivery of community projects, and so can also provide advice and guidance to your organisation.

Projects and organisations they have supported include the Bourne Outdoor Pool, Don’t Lose Hope, Remembrance Day parade, BRM Day, refurbishment of town benches and the provision of defibrillators across the town.

They have also supported the provision or enhancement of IT suites and libraries at local schools, along with other initiatives such as our school grants and small hardship grants schemes.

Please note they do not award grants directly to individuals. Grant applications will only be considered from local community organisations.

• Every grant must be for the benefit of the townspeople of Bourne – including Dyke, Cawthorpe and Twenty
• Grants are only payable to registered charities, and local community organisations and certain other support groups who can assist individuals with small hardship grants.
• The Trustees are unable to support applications for projects that replace actual or potential funding from any government, local government, health authority or any other statutory agency.
• Once awarded; and at the end of any 12 month period, an Evaluation form has to be completed

The Trust meets on a monthly basis and all eligible applications are put before the Trustees. Every application is evaluated and any subsequent queries arising are followed up as required.

Smaller grants of up to £1000 may, at their discretion, be approved before a full meeting of trustees.

Application forms can be downloaded online from their website.

There are two grant award values available to apply for.

Grants under £1,000

Grants over £1,000
