The Oglesby Charitable Trust focuses its resources on organisations with specific projects or activities in the North of England. Generally we do not consider applications from:
- Non-registered charities – although we can support Community Interest Companies
- Second tier organisations that exist to redistribute funds to other charities
- Animal charities
- Organisations that are active primarily outside the UK
- Church and all building fabric appeals
- Charities for which the promotion of religion is their primary purpose
Equally, we rarely fund the following:
- Conferences
- Fundraising costs
- Expeditions
- General sports, unless for a specific, identified group
- Holidays
- Individuals
- Routine staff training
- Sponsorship and marketing appeals
