Small grants averaging £1,500 are available to UK registered charities working in the UK or overseas.
The Not Pointless Charity is a modest grant-making Trust that raises funds through the annual Glastonbury Festival. Funds are then allocated in the form of grants to “improve educational opportunities and advance the education of children and adults in the UK and worldwide by supporting health, social justice and other projects”.
The Glastonbury Festival uses around 265 volunteer stewards each working approximately 20 hours, for which festival organiser Michael Eavis donates £5 per hour to Not Pointless.
Grants, can range from relatively small amounts of as low as £100 to around £5,000. Preferred areas of support are charities working in the areas of:
- Children’s welfare
- Education.
- Health.
- Social justice, and
- Overseas projects.
Given the location of the Festival, charities providing services in the South West region are frequently supported.
Please note the Charity does not have a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.
Applications may be made at any time in writing.
