Also known as the Stuart and Hillary Williams Foundation, the Williams Charitable Trust is a proactive family-based grant-making charity with its principal office in East London.

While the Trust can make grants in any part of the world, it generally makes grants to institutions and individuals in support of theatrical, educational and local community activities.

The charitable objects of the Trust are slightly wider and encompass training, the arts, the advancement of education, health, the environment and the protection of heritage, as well as general charitable purposes.

Please note that the Trustees take a proactive approach in seeking worthy causes requiring support. A letter of introduction may therefore be the best way to make contact with the Trust in the first instance.

During the year ended 30th June 2023, the Trust made 18 grants totalling £124,300 (2022: 16 grants totalling £37,126).

Awards ranged from under £1,000 to several grants of £20,000.

The Trust does not maintain a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.

The Trust may be contacted at any time in writing to enquire about the prospect of grant support.
