The Pilgrim Trust is a UK wide independent grant-making charitable trust. We believe that the wellbeing of the nation is enhanced both by its cultural heritage and by social initiatives that support people experiencing disadvantage. We support organisations that share our commitment to delivering positive and lasting change.   

Our current social change work is focused on young women's mental health. We set up the Young Women in Mind programme to help improve the mental health of women aged 16-25 in the UK. Our grants go to organisations that increase young women’s access to high quality, age and gender specific mental health services.

In May 11 2026 we announced a new fund. Young Women in Mind 2026-2028 - a collaborative funding programme set up by the Pilgrim Trust, the Prudence Trust and the Julia Rausing Trust to support charities providing gender‑specific therapeutic mental health support for girls and young women aged 14–25 in the UK. Together, we will invest £5 million over three years (2026–2028).
