EC&O Venues Earls Court And Olympia

The Earls Court and Olympia Charitable Trust (registered charity: Charity No 1091254) was founded in 2002 as part of the Company’s commitment to the two boroughs that surround the venues.

Each year we provide £15,000 to support charities and organisations within the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

See some of the past recipients here.

Who can apply?

The Trust welcomes applications from organisations in the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith and Fulham.

The primary focus of the Trust is to benefit young people with an emphasis on education, health and personal development (which includes the arts and sports).

The Earls Court and Olympia Charitable Trust has committed to supporting the local community with an annual award of £15,000 for distribution across the two boroughs.

The Trust makes awards from £500 to £3,000 although the Trust will occasionally consider more or less for projects of special merit. Applications are judged on merit rather than geographic location.

We particularly welcome applications from:

• Projects requiring greater funding, as they often have more impact and longer term benefits
• Organisations who are embarking on long term projects
• Organisations which have already raised a percentage of funds from other sources and would like us to match-fund

The Trustees consider each application (quarterly) for funding. Please note that due to the high volume of applications received, each organisation's application will only be considered once a year.
