Welcome to The Leche Trust
Supporting the performing arts, heritage conservation and training for young professionals in both these fields
Apply for funding
Most of our funding is allocated through our main grants programme which supports projects in two areas: performing arts and heritage conservation.
The online application process for the next grant round will open on Monday 9 December 2024 and will close at midnight on Friday 24 January 2025. We will let applicants know the trustees' decisions by Monday 10 March 2025.
Performing arts
At the Leche Trust we believe that the arts – and artists – make the world a better place. A healthy and dynamic society is reflected in a vibrant arts ecology: we want to support work that is original, to nurture artists and their creativity.
Heritage conservation
We support the conservation of historically, artistically and culturally significant buildings and objects dating from before 1837 that are in urgent need of remedial treatment. Items must be in public or charitable ownership and accessible to the public.
