The Percy Bilton Charity
Supporting the disadvantaged
The Percy Bilton Charity was founded on 9th July 1962 by the late Percy Bilton for exclusively charitable purposes.
Percy Bilton was an entrepreneur who in the 1920s and 1930s built up a group of successful property companies which in the 1970s was listed on the London Stock Exchange. He endowed the Charity with a substantial parcel of shares in Percy Bilton Limited, which later became Bilton plc.
The Percy Bilton Charity provides grants to registered charities who are focusing their activities at the following target groups:
- Disadvantaged/underprivileged young people - Aged under 25
- People with disabilities
- People over the age of 60
There are two main types of funding:
- Large grants (one off payments for capital expenditure of £2,000 and over); and
- Small grants pProviding funding of up to £500 towards furnishings and equipment for small projects).
The Charity favours applications from small charities.
There is no set deadline and bids can be submitted at anytime. Please note, however, that Board meetings are held quarterly in March, June, September and December to consider large grants.
