Helping people to shape their lives
Glasspool Charity Trust has been making a meaningful difference to the lives of individuals and families facing financial difficulties since 1939.
We focus on alleviating immediate financial pressures through grants, to help people across the UK navigate challenging times with dignity and a renewed sense of hope.
Our sole grants programme the Flexible Frontline Fund was launched April 2024. It enables frontline organisations that provide whole-person support to access and distribute grant funds to their service users and clients.
The grant funding can be used for a range of household goods and services; and by offering flexibility, Glasspool and frontline organisations make a real-time impact on the lives of individuals, couples and families across the UK.
During 2023 we undertook a comprehensive recruitment process to select our frontline partners for this fund. This recruitment process is now closed. We do not anticipate entering into a new recruitment round before 2027.
Glasspool Charity Trust has appointed Rachael Badger as its new Chief Executive, succeeding Julie Green. Rachael brings strong experience of grant funding and of frontline service delivery and the advice sector, from previous senior roles at the Motability Foundation and Citizens Advice.
