Neurological conditions can affect children, adults and older people. We fund projects that empower people to lead better lives and be involved in their communities. We are aware of the importance of wider support networks and are interested in services that also support carers and families.
Particular attention is given to lower incidence conditions and neglected groups, and programmes that address limited service provision in rural and remote areas. We are also keen to support those services that meet needs across multiple neurological conditions.
If not listed as excluded, the Trust welcomes applications relating to a singular, or a mixed group of our defined neurological conditions. Further details and exclusions can be found here.
In relation to charitable activities seeking to conserve habitats/the natural environment, applications must evidence the intended impact for animal welfare and how that impact would be monitored.
- neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative disorders.
- visual impairment or sight loss.
