Over the years the Trust has made grants to a wide variety of charities, many of which have been assisted annually over a long period. There are no specific criteria, but consideration is given, among other things, to:

• People who are disadvantaged (in the widest sense)
• Personal development through adventure
• The environment
• Whether the charity will be able to bring life-changing benefits to its clients
• Whether a small grant of, say, £500 will really make a difference to the charity
• How challenging the raising of the money for the particular cause will be
• The number of people assisted per £ spent
• The viability of the charity and where the rest of the money will come from
• How much the charity spends on fund-raising and administration
• Whether the charity works locally, nationally or internationally
