The Belacqua Charitable Trust
The Belacqua Charitable Trust is a Bournemouth, Dorset based family grant-making charity. Its three trustees are all members of the Pullman family. The Trust was established to provide grants to registered charities in the UK and overseas that are concerned with:
o The Arts.
o The Environment.
o Humanitarian causes, and
o The welfare of children.
The Trust is particularly interested in supporting smaller organisations who can meet more than one of the priorities listed above.
The Trust’s Charity Commission listing gives its preferred area of operation as
o Throughout England And Wales.
o Bangladesh.
o Burma.
o Congo (Democratic Republic).
o India.
o Nepal.
o Romania, and
o The United States
During the year ended 5th April 2022, the Trust awarded grants totalling £25,000 (2021: £100,000). Although no minimum or maximum grant award levels are available, any awards are likely to be modest, given the Trust’s total annual grant expenditure.
No data is available about grant recipients, although the Trust does have a Facebook page which provides some in formation about grants previously awarded.
Please note that the Trust does not have a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website and on the Trust's Facebook page..
Applications may be made at any time in writing.
