A B Charitable Trust

Registered charity number 1000147



The A B Charitable Trust (ABCT) is an independent, UK based grant-making organisation founded in 1990 that is concerned with promoting and defending human dignity.

ABCT supports charities that defend human rights, such as freedom from torture and arbitrary imprisonment, and promote respect for individuals whatever their circumstances.

The Trust is particularly interested in charities that work with vulnerable, marginalised and excluded people in society, with a focus on:

  • refugees and victims of torture
  • prisoners
  • older people
  • people with mental health problems

If you are a charity working in any of these fields, please check our funding guidelines. You are welcome to put in an application.

If you do not work in these particular fields, but meet our wider criteria, you may be able to apply for a small grant of up to £5,000.
