Pilgrim Trust

The Pilgrim Trust is an independent grant giving charitable trust that supports charities and public bodies that focus on preserving the UK’s heritage or on bringing about social change.

Our current social change work is focused on young women's mental health. We set up this programme to help improve the mental health of women aged 16-25 by increasing their access to high quality, age and gender specific mental health services. The programme is currently operating in the Northern Ireland, the North West and North East of England, and Yorkshire and the Humber. Each year we allocate c £1M in three-year funding to around 10-12 organisations.
