The Sir Cliff Richard Charitable Trust was founded by Sir Cliff Richard OBE to reflect his charitable interests. Sir Cliff continues to be one of the 3 trustees of the charity. The Trust makes grants generally of £2,000 or under to UK registered charities and voluntary groups working in the UK and/or overseas. A limited number of grants made by the Trust can be for up to £20,000.
The majority of the donations made by the Trust are in response to direct requests and applications made to the trustees. Requests for grants and donations are assessed regularly by the trustees who use their discretionary powers in order to determine to whom and in what amounts those donations are to be made.
Applications may be made at any time in writing.
