About Us

We aim to benefit disadvantaged and disengaged young people in our society here in the UK by
ensuring our funding reaches those most in need.

We achieve our aims and objectives through making grants for charitable work. We wish to build
relationships with our supported organisations and foster collaboration wherever we can. Those
we cannot help financially through our criteria we hope to help in other ways, through
consultancy, business planning and networking.

Charity meets the unmet need and our funding is always driven towards meeting
that need in our area of interest.

Peter Cruddas Foundation funding criteria

The Foundation gives priority to programmes designed to help disadvantaged young people to
pursue their education (including vocational) and more generally develop their potential whether
through sport or recreation, voluntary programmes or otherwise. Preference will be given to the
support of projects undertaken by charitable organisations for the benefit of such people, but
consideration will also be given in appropriate circumstances to applications for individual support.
