The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation is a medium-sized grant making foundation giving grants to small, well-established organisations in the UK who address local issues in areas of extreme urban deprivation, or in remote and fragile rural communities.

Their focus is on supporting smaller charitable and not-for-profit organisations within the UK, with a total annual income under £500,000, who work in the most deprived urban areas or the most remote and socio-economically deprived rural areas.

They offer two types of grant:

Small Grants – Single year grants between £2,000 and £10,000 for core costs, salaries, running and project costs. Projects must have a focus on Community Support.

Major Grants – Single year grants between £10,000 and £50,000 for core costs, salaries, running and project costs or Multi-year grants for a maximum of 3 years, not to exceed £100,000 in total over this period, for core costs, salaries, running or project costs. No more than £50k can be applied for in any given year. Organisations should have a focus on Family Support.

The application process is online.  Look at the website for funding guidelines.
