Applications are welcomed for research, feasibility, pilot studies or development projects that are likely to improve the conditions of a particular group of people, as well as having wider implications. Trustees will normally expect that the beneficiaries of a development project will have been involved in the design of the project and its continuing governance, They will also wish to see how the work will continue after a grant from the Trust has finished (I.e. sustainability plans)

In the UK the Trustees wish to support innovative projects, which attempt to :-

• prevent and resolve conflict, promote reconciliation and/or encourage re-connection between family members of all ages
  
• help people 'move beyond disadvantage'. Such projects might be concerned with the social and family aspects of unemployment, crime, imprisonment, homelessness and migration
  
• address the needs of  elderly people and those of all ages who may be vulnerable or exploited
  
• accept responsibility for disseminating results to practitioners in a form which is likely to result in changes in their way of working
