Established in 1930, the Pilgrim Trust was set up to address some of the UK’s “more urgent needs” with a view to “promoting future wellbeing”. Today the fund is worth around £75m and spends around £2.5m in grants annually. 60% of this spend is awarded in the Heritage and Conservation fields and 40% goes towards supporting social welfare. The trust is currently looking to recruit a Grants Manager to cover the current post-holder's maternity leave for a one-year contract, and to be a part of the Trust's small but motivated and dedicated team.
