2 The Edward Gostling Foundation
At The Edward Gostling Foundation, we believe that people living with a mental and/or physical disability or a long-term illness should have the same choices, quality of life opportunities and aspirations as others. To help us achieve this goal we provide a fast-track Small Grants Programme for applications of £5K or less and a Large Grants Programme for applications of over £5K.
We like all of our grants to have a significant impact across one or more of our 4 life "themes" and to become one of our charity partners you will need to demonstrate how your project outputs meet our objectives in one or more of these themes. Our themes are broad ranging and we support many activities within each. A summary can be found at Themes.
Whilst there is no restriction as to the size of the charitable organisation that can apply, we will prioritise applications from small to medium size charities who are making a significant impact in their community and who may lack the time and resources to be able to focus on their fundraising.
Please note that we only accept requests for funding from Charities registered and regulated by a UK Charity Commission using our online application form.
Before starting the application process it is important that you read our Application Guidelines, examples of what we will not fund which are below and our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). For charities applying under our Large Grants Programme we also recommend that you read our Guidance for Preparing Your Large Grant Application before applying.

4 Wave Trauma Event
Two representatives from WAVE Trauma will speak at an event this Thursday, March 7 at the Holywell Community Partnership building on Bishop Street.
Peter Heathwood was severely injured in a loyalist attack at his home in Belfast in 1979. He is also featured in a photographic exhibition current on display at the Holywell building called ‘Injured on That Day’. This highlighted the catastrophic injuries suffered by victims of the Troubles and is part of a campaign to secure a government pension for them.
The second speaker will be Alan McBride who lost his wife and father-in-law in a IRA bomb attack on the Shankill Road in Belfast in 1993. Mr McBride works for WAVE Trauma and have been one of the driving forces behind the development of the exhibition as a campaigning tool.
The event will commence at 11am on Thursday 7th and will mark the closure of the ‘Injured on That Day’ exhibition in the Holywell Building.
The conversation with Peter and Alan will be followed by a light lunch.
