Who We Fund

The Trust’s grants reflect Mr. Joel’s wishes as expressed in the Charity’s Objects. To view the Charity’s Objects please visit the Charity Commission website - www.charity-commission.gov.uk

The grants fall under four main headings:

Health

"… to assist the aged in need, the promotion of health and particularly the relief of the disabled".

Around half of the funds distributed by The Childwick Trust are within this area and cover a wide range of charities supporting children and adults with disabilities plus care of the elderly. This includes hospices and those in the Services, Mr. Joel himself served in the First World War with the 15th Hussars. A small number of research grants are also considered.

The majority of grants given are typically between £2,000 and £10,000 with a handful of more sizeable amounts for larger projects. The Trust is pleased to help both small local charities within Hertfordshire as well as larger national organizations throughout the United Kingdom.

The Racing World

"… objects connected with horse racing or breeding within the United Kingdom and people involved with horse racing or horse breeding who shall be in need".

This reflects Mr. Joel’s long standing connection with the racing industry and his huge success within the sport over many years. A major portion of the donations are for the welfare of those in need within the Newmarket area.

Jewish Charities

"… for the promotion of the Jewish faith and the support of Jewish people in need".

Mr. Joel was Jewish and the Trust continues his lifetime support for charities that promote the Jewish faith and care for Jewish people of all ages who are in need. Grants are made within the United Kingdom only.

Education in South Africa

"… to support the education of people resident in the Republic of South Africa".

This area of the Trust’s activity reflects the Joel family’s long involvement in the mining industry in South Africa. The Trust’s grants are channeled through The Jim Joel Education and Training Fund based in Johannesburg. This fund which receives around a third of the funds distributed each year has achieved considerable success in funding Early Childhood Development projects in the poorer areas of South Africa.
