Company Performance Metrics
The Ballinger Charitable Trust provides grants to charitable organisations, CICs and community groups that support younger and older people in North-East England. The trust focuses on organisations working with children and young people, particularly in disadvantaged communities, and on groups supporting older people, including those experiencing
isolation, dementia or other serious health inequalities. It primarily offers unrestricted or core funding, but also supports project and capital needs where appropriate. The trust favours multi-year grant relationships, often maintaining support over several years. It runs an online application process and conducts its own research and visits before confirming grants. The trust also collaborates with other funders and local infrastructure organisations to deliver micro-grant programmes for small, volunteer-led community groups.
