aims
The Tubney Charitable Trust seeks to support activities that have a long term, sustainable, positive impact on the biodiversity of the UK and on the welfare of farmed animals both in the UK and internationally.
approach
In accordance with the wishes of the founders, Miles and Briony Blackwell, the Charity has a limited life and is spending both its income and its capital to achieve its objectives. During their strategic review at the beginning of 2008, the Trustees confirmed their desire to achieve a meaningful impact on UK biodiversity and farmed animal welfare that will endure beyond the short lifespan of the Trust. Importantly, the Trustees made the decision that over the following four years they would allocate most of the Trust’s remaining uncommitted funds to a small number of large, focused grants.
For this reason the Trustees closed the charity’s open programmes to focus on funding proactive work and since 2008 grants have been provided on an invitation-to-bid basis.
The Trust has now awarded the majority of its funds, with the remainder to be allocated over the next few months. Its operational capacity will then be reduced.
With effect from 31 March 2012, the Trust will end the active phase of its life and the Trust's office will be closed.
The Trust no longer accepts applications.
