Celebrating 2024/25: A Year of Impact and Partnership

We are pleased to announce the launch of our Annual Report for 2024/25, which reflects on a landmark year celebrating our 75th anniversary, welcoming new leadership, and continuing to support charities with flexibility and trust. 

This year has been one of reflection, renewal, and celebration at The Dulverton Trust. Marking our 75th anniversary, we looked back at the thousands of organisations we’ve been privileged to support over the decades – and looked forward with fresh energy for the years to come. 

The Trust awarded £3,218,960 in grants over the period of 2024/25. These grants supported 67 charities, with 20 organisations receiving Dulverton Trust support for the very first time.  

Our Trustees are particularly proud that so much of this funding was given as core, unrestricted grants and as multi-year commitments. We know that flexibility and stability are what allow charities to plan, grow, and deepen their impact. 

A Message to Our Charity Partners 

To all our partners – whether you’ve been with us for years or just joined the Dulverton family – we want to say a heartfelt thank you. Your creativity, resilience, and determination are at the heart of everything we do. From youth opportunities to conservation, education to social justice, it is your work that drives change in communities, often in the most challenging circumstances. 

Our role is simple: to stand beside you. Whether through unrestricted funding, multi-year support, or simply by listening and being responsive, we are here to help you do what you do best. 

Looking Ahead 

As we move into this new chapter, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. With a renewed focus and energy, we will continue to honour the Trust’s mission while exploring new ways to grow, adapt, and respond to the changing needs around us. At the heart of this journey are the same values that have guided us from the beginning: trust, partnership, and impact.

With new leadership and a strong sense of purpose, we are committed to upholding these principles as we shape the future of the Trust. We look forward to continuing to learn from and celebrate the incredible charities we are honoured to support.

We are also keen to learn from, and contribute to, the wider philanthropic community – sharing insights, collaborating with peers, and playing our part in strengthening the sector as a whole.

Looking back with pride, and forward with purpose.
