What we do

Our purpose

We provide financial grants to specialist children’s charities, trusts and organisations who are changing the lives of some of the most disadvantaged children and young people living in Devon today.

​In summary, the purpose of the Northbrook Trust is to use its income to support the education, training and development of children and young people in need within the county of Devon.  The Trust has close links with the Atkinson Home, which is on the site of the former Northbrook School, and has a particular interest in young people who are, or were, in the care of Devon County Council.  Most of the grants made by the Trust are to charitable or voluntary organisations which provide education, training, accommodation or support to children and young people who are in need.

Funds

The Northbrook Trust is a grant making charity.  Our funds come from the income on investments acquired over many years from the sale of land and property.
