The Thomas Hughes Foundation is set up primarily to support organisations that help to prevent poverty, advance education and health, citizenship and community development. I does this by mainly by making grants to charities active in these areas. Grants typically take the form of multi-year, unrestricted core funding. The Trustees believe that this type of funding is of particular value to beneficiary charities because it is difficult to obtain that project funding, facilitates long-term planning and reduces fund-raising costs.

Beneficiaries: 'Other charities or voluntary bodies'

Objectives: The Trustees shall hold the Trust Fund and the income of it to pay and apply the same to or for the benefit of or in furtherance of such purposes, objects or institutions charitable in law and in such proportions and manner as the Trustees shall think fit. In exercising their discretion in terms of this Clause the Trustees shall give primary consideration to the wishes of those persons who gift or lend funds to the Trust but this proviso shall impose no binding obligation on the Trustees.
