Broad eligibility Registered charity 265669
Check the connection before doing paperwork
The quickest way to avoid wasted effort is to begin with the employment, family or community connection that brings a request within the Fund’s objects.

For individual enquiries
The potential beneficiary must fall within the defined class connected to the Rugby Group, Rugby Portland Cement Company or relevant subsidiaries, and be in need.
- Explain the employment connection
- Explain the relationship if applying for a family member
- Describe the present need
- Wait for guidance before gathering evidence
For organisations
The organisation and proposed use of funds must be charitable. A strong enquiry explains the link to eligible people or communities connected with former cement operations.
What this check cannot do
It cannot guarantee an award, determine a grant amount or replace trustee consideration. Eligibility and funding remain discretionary.
Connection first. Need second. Evidence only when requested.
