Meet the Funder – The Tudor Trust

In 1955 Sir Godfrey Mitchell endowed a charitable trust with a gift of shares in the construction company George Wimpey Ltd, with the objective of the trustees using its funds for charitable purposes; this trust became known as the Tudor Trust in 1979. Today, the Tudor Trust is an independent charitable trust that supports work that tries to meet the many different needs of people at the margins of society in the UK.

They are interested in how organisations tackle these needs, and their root causes. They are keen to work with smaller organisations which have a real understanding of the challenges facing the communities they support and the strengths they can build on. They also want to support groups which are clear about the change they want to make through their work.
