Welcome
Based in Bourne, Lincolnshire, the Len Pick Trust is a charitable trust which supports other local community organisations, primarily by awarding grants.
Our Trustees are well connected to the local area, and are empowered to award grants for the benefit of Bourne. The grants are given to charities or voluntary bodies working with children, young people, the elderly or with the many other people living in Bourne. Trustees are experienced in the successful delivery of community projects, and so can also provide advice and guidance to your organisation.
The Trust also undertakes other special projects, such as the installation and oversight of two Owl Towers, one having a live camera feed, or the annual Len Pick Memorial Evening, with one central aim at the core of all our work – to provide tangible benefit for the people of Bourne.
How we’ve helped
Projects and organisations we’ve supported include the Bourne Outdoor Pool, Don’t Lose Hope, Remembrance Day parade, BRM Day, refurbishment of town benches and the provision of defibrillators across the town.
We have also supported the provision or enhancement of IT suites and libraries at local schools, along with other initiatives such as our school grants and small hardship grants schemes.
How can we help you?
The Trust is always excited to hear from local people and organisations who we can work with to make a difference in the town. If you think a grant from the Len Pick Trust would help your organisation or project, then read more about how you can apply.
The application process is easy - you can complete your application form online, and feel free to call us if you need any advice or assistance.
Who was Len Pick?
Len Pick was a very well-known and much respected Bourne farmer and local businessman, who quietly supported many aspects of the town throughout his lifetime.
It was Len’s wish that his support for the town should continue into the future, and so on his death in 2004, his lifelong legacy to the town was sustained with the establishment of the Len Pick Trust.
