THE SEGELMAN TRUST

Who they support

The Trust’s support is focused on a limited number of organisations that share our values and that we believe can create positive social change. The organisations we fund are led by the experiences of those they support; they are responsive, questioning and ambitious in their goals.

Grant criteria

Segelman Trust seeks to improve outcomes for children, young people and families facing multiple disadvantage. We believe that strong relationships and connection are at the heart of change. We have a particular focus on supporting people with care experience and strengthening families so that children can remain safely at home. As opportunities emerge, we invest in projects outside this core focus area where they reimagine the way key social challenges could be addressed. Central to the aims of the Trust is increasing understanding of the challenges people face and expanding capacity to respond effectively.

Grant details

To give a sense of our scale, we currently fund 28 organisations and last year we made 13 new grants.
