Welcome to the Peter Stebbings Memorial Charity website
The Peter Stebbings Memorial Charity ("the Charity") gives grants exclusively to charities registered with the U.K. Charity Commission. Projects funded are usually delivered in London, and also in Sub-Saharan Africa. Generally grants go to charities where the grant will make a difference and where the Trustees can see how the money is being used.
NB. The Charity is reviewing its Grants Policy, and has decided to reduce its areas of benefit, (areas yet to be finalised), pro-actively approaching organisations rather than receiving applications.
Hence, from 20 July 2026 the charity will cease accepting applications.
Should any Charity wish to draw our attention to their work, please e mail our administrator, simply giving your website details.
In the U.K.
The main areas of interest are:
- Medical research and care
- Mental health/counselling
- Offender support
- Vulnerable families, women and children
In Sub-Saharan Africa
The Charity restricts applications to those relating to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and to 3 principal areas of work:
- 1. Sanitation, irrigation, hygiene and access to clean water. WASH. The Charity is particularly interested in low tech, repeatable schemes, involving local communities. We are aware that improvement in these fields promotes health, poverty reduction, access to education, training and agricultural production.
- 2. Women's empowerment. Education and training. Projects to enhance life chances, reproductive choices, safe childbirth. To improve access for vulnerable groups. Microfinance for women.
- 3. Provision of recycled tools and equipment.
