The Monday Charitable Trust is a grant making foundation, which aims to improve life chances of disadvantaged and often marginalised groups in the United Kingdom.
Whilst we will continue to support direct service provision to help those in need, we are increasingly interested in funding programmes which address or seek to identify the root causes of issues.
We map our grants and social investments against our funding priorities. This helps us monitor and learn from our funding over time and allows us to identify and understand emerging trends in the underlying sector.
We make grants to a range of projects focused on housing, education and environmental crises in support of young people, people with mental health problems, others suffering disadvantage and inequality and to promote social mobility.
We support charities and other organisations that work with homeless or vulnerable people, help provide for their immediate needs and provide accommodation and rehabilitation.
We support charities working with schools, prisons and communities to provide social programmes and give access to education to those from deprived or disadvantaged backgrounds.
We are supporting a charity undertaking environmental legal action in regulation and policy, helping communities most affected by environmental degradation to defend their rights. We will also support projects in biodiversity and species preservation, climate and atmosphere and holistic approaches covering coastal ecosystems, fresh water, land use, consumption, waste, toxics and pollution.
We support charities that work with children and young people is to increase life chances by developing life skills, emotional resilience and mental well-being and by promoting social mobility.
We make grants to a range of projects in support of people with mental health problems to see that they get the support they need, when they need it.
We fund charities that work to improve social mobility and address social inequality, primarily in the motivation, education, skills and training of disadvantaged people of all ages and backgrounds.
Since 2021, we have delivered intensive programmes in 40+ schools and colleges across nine London boroughs, reaching nearly 2000 young people. Employer engagement has been a cornerstone of these programmes, with hundreds of volunteers contributing thousands of hours to inspire young people through career networking events, site visits, work experience placements, and employability masterclasses. So far, more than 70% of the young people who completed these programmes have progressed into meaningful employment or further education
