Welcome to The Hilden Charitable Fund
34 North End Road, London W14 OSH tel: +44(0) 207 603 1525 e-mail: hildencharity@hotmail.com   website: www.hildencharitablefund.org.uk Secretary to the Trustees: Rodney Hedley	The Hilden Charitable Fund was established in 1963 by Joan and Tony Rampton. It is a grant making foundation registered with the UK Charity Commission, Charity Registration Number: 232591. The Hilden Charitable Fund awards grants to projects both in the UK and in developing countries. The aim of the fund is to address disadvantages, notably by supporting causes which are less likely to raise funds from public subscriptions. Both the UK and overseas fund policy is directed largely at supporting work at community level. Grants are rarely given to well-funded national charities; grants are not given to individuals. Grant making priorities in the UK are: Homelessness, Penal Affairs, Asylum seekers and refugees and Community based initiatives for disadvantaged young people For projects in developing countries, priorities are projects which focus on Community Development, Education, and Health. In 2009 the average grant given was £5,000. You can find out more about the origins of The Hilden Charitable Fund and its structure in the About Us Section of the website and by viewing our Most Recent Annual Report. Those seeking funds for projects in the UK should look at the Guidelines UK Section and those seeking funds for projects in developing countries should look in the Guidelines Overseas Section. If after looking at the guidelines you feel you wish to apply for a grant, you should look at the Application Form Section. Each year The Hilden Charitable Fund runs a Summer Playschemes funding programme. Further details on this are in the Summer Playschemes Section which includes an application form.
