Marjory Boddy Charitable Trust
A local charitable trust helping local people by supporting local charities
Welcome to
The Marjory Boddy Charitable Trust
The Chester-based Trust was set up in 2002 to manage the assets and investments of the late Marjory Boddy, who lived in Lache Lane, Chester, and was during her lifetime a keen supporter and benefactor of many local good cases.
SECTORS WE SUPPORT
The Marjory Boddy Charitable Trust meets three times a year to consider applications for grants. We welcome applications from registered charities or other charitable organisations. We have previously focused our support on areas like health, education, welfare and the arts, but we’re open to applications for any areas of work as we want to support charitable organisations meet the needs of local communities as best as we can.
LOCAL CHARITIES
We welcome applications from charities or other charitable organisations based within the Chester, Ellesmere Port or the immediate surrounding areas.
While we do occasionally support organisations that are based out of these areas, this is only where the beneficiaries of the project or service are from Chester, Ellesmere Port or the immediate surrounding areas.
APPLICATIONS
We have a short, simple online form that you can complete to apply to the Marjory Boddy Trust. Cheshire West Voluntary Action is supporting Marjory Boddy with its application process on Plinth. Please note that this is the only way we’ll receive applications.
If you’d like an informal discussion about your project and whether we’re likely to fund you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Apply
If your charity is based within the the Chester, Ellesmere Port or the immediate surrounding areas, or is able to demonstrate that their activities deliver a direct benefit or meet the specific needs of groups or individuals within those local communities, then you could be considered for a grant.
It’s a privilege to be able to offer financial support to organisations that make such a difference to the well-being, choices and quality of life of so many people in our local communities.”
