2019 Grants Summary

About the Trust
The Summerfield Charitable Trust (SCT) was established by Ronald Summerfield, a Cheltenham
antique dealer, shortly before his death in 1989. The board of five Trustees has discretion as to
which charitable uses to apply the funds. The Trust is administered by Mrs Lavinia Sidgwick.
In 2019 £783,173 was awarded in 77 grants, plus pledges totalling £454,667 which will be paid over
the next two years. A copy of the latest Trust accounts is available upon request.

What we fund and how to apply
We encourage a diverse range of applicants and we are keen to be involved in projects, both large
and small, that are imaginative and to which we can make a significant contribution.
See our funding criteria below, or view our Grants Paid pages for more information on current and
past projects we have funded.

Geographical Area
Charities and organisations applying to the Trust must be based in the six district councils of
Gloucestershire (i.e. Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, Tewkesbury, Cotswolds or Forest of Dean); or
they must be engaged in a project that is of specific benefit to residents within the county.

Viewed especially favourably are:
   ▪ The arts, museums and the built heritage;
   ▪ The environment and natural heritage;
   ▪ Community work;
   ▪ Education, sport and recreation;
   ▪ Vulnerable and disadvantaged sectors of society.

Applicants are asked to show they have considered:
    ▪ The impact of their projects upon the environment;
    ▪ Planning for long term self-sufficiency including training of staff or volunteers;
    ▪ The potential to work in partnership* with other statutory and non-statutory funders;
    ▪ Their active involvement with the people who will benefit;
    ▪ The outcomes of the project or service.
* Charities which can form partnerships to work together, particularly those needing funds for capital
expenditure, will be exempt from VAT payments.

Building Improvements
If you are applying for funds for a new building, or to make alterations to an existing building, you
need to note that SCT is supportive of measures which reduce running costs, improve a building's
'performance', and improve facilities for users/staff. Your application would need to give a full
explanation of what measures you have considered on:
     ▪ Sustainability;
     ▪ Building design and management;
     ▪ Ease of use.
In addition, it is essential that you explain the ownership of the building and the nature of the
agreement between the owner and the charity / organisation raising funds for the improvements.

2019 Grants Summary

Organisations we will fund:
    ▪   Registered charities.
    ▪   Charitable Incorporated Organisations.
    ▪   Community Groups, Not-for-profit limited companies and Voluntary Groups: Applications
        will only be accepted if supported by a letter of endorsement from a registered charity.
    ▪   Community Interest Companies: Applications must include a letter of endorsement from a
        registered charity, and a copy of audited accounts including a breakdown of salary costs.

We do not fund:
    ▪   medical research;
    ▪   private education;
    ▪   animal welfare appeals;
    ▪   fund trips abroad;
    ▪   projects that have already taken place.

Staff Costs: Recurring staff costs will NOT be supported. The Trustees will only occasionally consider
funding staff/salary costs for limited periods. Bids for such funding should indicate clearly how, at
the earliest opportunity, it is intended that such staff costs will be sustainably supported. We may
also, in some circumstances, agree to fund a one-off project that has a proportion of staff costs in
the overall budget.

Individuals: Applications from individuals are no longer accepted. Should an individual resident of
Gloucestershire require financial support for educational needs, they are recommended to contact
the Lumb's Education Trust. SCT awards an annual grant to Lumbs to enable them to support local
residents on SCT's behalf. Write to: Mrs Margaret Wanless, Lumbs Education Trust, 4 Manor View,
Cold Pool Lane, Up Hatherley, Cheltenham, GL51 6HZ.

Churches: Appeals from churches for renovation are not currently accepted. SCT awards an annual
grant to Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust to enable it to support the repair and improvements
of buildings used for Christian worship throughout Gloucestershire. You are advised to contact GHCT
via their website: Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust.

Repeat Grants: Charities which have been in receipt of a grant should not re-apply for at least two
years, unless they have specifically been asked to do so.

HOW TO APPLY
The Trustees meet quarterly - usually in January, April, July, and October - to consider all applications
received prior to the deadline dates (see website), and prefer to support projects that will take
place, or start, within six months of receiving the grant. It is therefore important when applying to
be clear about time scales and confident they will fit in with the timing of the quarterly meetings.

WE HAVE A TWO-STAGE APPLICATION PROCESS. Before completing the online application we
strongly advise that you view the What We Fund and Grants Paid pages on our website to ensure
that your project is eligible and meets with our funding criteria.

2019 Grants Summary

Introduction from the Chair
The Trust continues to play a significant part in maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in
Gloucestershire. A total of £783,173 was distributed by way of grants to a variety of good causes.

Grants included the second of three stages of £170,000 to Sue Ryder for their Hospice at Home
project, £200,000 to Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust towards their new Centre at Robinswood Hill and
£50,000 for three years to James Hopkins Trust.

The 2019 Grace Fry grant was awarded to the Wellchild Charity.

This level of grants was achieved by the excellent performance of the investments. Following a
periodic review, the investment portfolio was transferred from Smith & Williamson to Sarasin’s
Ethical Fund. At year-end, the value of investments stood at £9.5m.

2019 was the 30th anniversary of Ron Summerfield’s death. To celebrate 30 years of charitable giving
in Gloucestershire, the Trustees are launching four innovation awards in 2020, each worth £10,000,
which will be given to projects or ideas that tackle challenges in the county in new ways – an Arts
Award, an Eco Award, a Communities Award and an Education Award.

The Trust uses the website, social media and public events to promote its profile. These included a
sponsored event at the Cheltenham Science Festival – Matt Haig talking about “Notes on a Nervous
Planet” and an event at the Cheltenham Music Festival – “Absolute Music” featuring Simon Russell
Beale and Ben Miles. The Education project at Cheltenham Festivals, which the Trust sponsors,
“Reading Teachers – Reading Pupils” has now attracted national funding and has been rolled out in a
number of other locations across the country.

Our Trustees are not remunerated for the time and expertise which they give to managing the Trust.
Roger Mortlock was appointed as a Trustee at the beginning of the year. Edward Gillespie retired by
rotation at the end of the year after serving for ten years. David Owen succeeds him as Chairman.

An outstanding team of Advisers supports the Trust. Four have retired during the year but we are
pleased to welcome Brendon Conboy (Stroud), Frank McDermot (Forest of Dean) and Karen Randall
(Dursley) who have joined the team.

The Trustees look forward to building on the success of recent years by continuing to distribute the
income from investments for the benefit of good causes in Gloucestershire.
