Within the Arts, Sports & Culture Theme we encourage applications that encourage creativity, arts, recreation, heritage, culture – particularly where they widen access and increase participation.
Read below about what some of our recipients say about the support they have received from The Summerfield Charitable Trust.
The Music Works
The funding and support from The Summerfield Trust has been valuable in helping establishing our Gloucester Studio Hub, creating a vibrant and safe space for over 4,000 young people across Gloucestershire, providing opportunities for young people to have a voice, explore their creativity, develop their talents, and build meaningful connections with peers and mentors.

The Soldiers of Gloucester Museum
We are hugely grateful to the Summerfield Trust for their generous support of the Museum over many years. In 2009, their grant helped us transform access to our collection through a vital IT upgrade, opening up our archives to researchers, families, and schools across Gloucestershire. More recently, in 2020, their funding enabled us to create new display units for our Sacrifice and Courage exhibition, ensuring that this powerful story of service and remembrance could be shared with visitors in a fitting and engaging way. Thanks to the Trust’s support, we continue to honour Gloucestershire’s soldiers and preserve their legacy for future generations.
