Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust

In an evening which highlighted so many innovative and community-minded businesses across #SuttonColdfield, #Lichfield, #Tamworth and #Cannock, it was a privilege to be recognised alongside them.

In a fantastic event hosted by TV legend @nickowentv, Naeem said the award recognised our ongoing support for the community.

What a night! We were presented with the President’s Award at last night’s #STLCAwards2025 by @Sutton_Chamber President @NaeemArif_. Our outgoing Chief Executive @TinaSwani and new Chief Executive Lisa Martinali were delighted to receive the award at the @TheBelfryHotel

We're excited to announce that thanks to a generous grant from the Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust, we're getting some new picnic benches delivered! 🤩 These benches will provide a perfect spot for the students to enjoy the outdoors during break and lunch times. @the_atlp

Thank you @trust_sutton for these amazing benches. Our students have already begun utilising these new furniture! 🤩🤗🙌💙❤️ @the_atlp #ArthurTerrySchool #CommunitySupport

Happiest memories & tremendous pride as I leave my role as CEO of @trust_sutton Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust. Huge thanks to everyone I’ve enjoyed working with over the past 4 and a half years. We’ve achieved so much together. Keep in touch. Loving the flowers 🌺

Today is #ArmisticeDay when, as a nation, we pause in silence to reflect on the service and sacrifices the Armed Forces make on our behalf. #suttoncoldfield #community

If you live in #SuttonColdfield the Royal Sutton Coldfield Charity News has arrived. A platform for our Town’s unstoppable charities changing lives against all odds. A paper led & funded by SCCT @trust_sutton - thanks @Midlands_editor for design/production

The new system will make the grants management process more efficient for the Trust and new and existing grantees. Keep your eye on suttoncoldfieldcharitabletrust.com for further information and guidance.

Existing Grantees delivering projects will be contacted with details on how to manage their grant, submit grant claims forms and monitoring reports.

We will soon be moving to a great new digital Grant Management System, providing a streamlined and user-friendly experience for applicants and grantees. Once the system is live, all grant applications, grant claims and monitoring reports will be managed through the platform.

Our Trustees have arrived at their last stop – New Hall Valley, to see the brilliant boardwalk rebuilt by the Friends of New Hall Valley. The boardwalk was built with support from a £26,000 grant from @trust_sutt, along with support from @RoyalSutColTC and @BhamCityCouncil

Next, our Trustees are meeting the members of Sutton Coldfield Rifle and Pistol Club, as they visit their Coles Lane base. Our grant of £10,000 helped pay for a new heating system, ventilation and disabled access to their premises.

Our Trustees are now at @CherishedGirls in @scgracechurch shopping centre. Cherished was set up in 2012 to help young girls with support and encouragement as they chart the difficulties of life. @sutt_trust has backed mental health schemes in Sutton schools with a £40,000 grant

Now our Trustees are visiting @WalmleyGC, to meet Walmley Golf Foundation's Lesley Robbins, to see the brilliant disability-friendly short course area they have created. The first of its kind in the UK, the area was created with a £44,500 grant from @sutt_trust. @LesleyR76413865

Our trustees have arrived at Four Oaks Methodist Church, to visit Grow Family Services, which gives families who have a child with Special Educational Needs friendly advice and support. Our grant of £16,000 has helped expand this vital parent-led #SuttonColdfield group.

Next, we’re visiting the wonderful @pennsprimary School, to meet headteacher Helen Lowe and see the Sensory Room they have created for the children. The room provides a calm space where children can go to have some downtime, and was created with the support of a £9,248 grant.
