Migrants and Refugees Grant Programme

The A B Charitable Trust works with organisations that support communities who migrate to the UK, and people who are refugees or seeking asylum. The Trust provides funding to support work that has a clear intent to bring about change and have an impact on the most marginalised and excluded communities facing intersecting disadvantages. This includes work addressing destitution through provision of accommodation support, trafficking and exploitation, support for people held in immigration detention, and for groups facing discrimination for protected characteristics including racialised groups. The Trust supports a wide range of work including delivering services, policy advocacy and influencing, campaigning, narrative change work, and community organising. They are particularly interested in the use of the law as a tool for social change to address injustices at individual and systemic levels. The Trust usually provides unrestricted funding to registered UK charities with annual income between £150k and £1.5m that have been operating for at least a year.
