Fostering a culture where human dignity is upheld.

Who we support

People with eating disorders and those who care for them

We fund thoughtful, rigorous scientific research that expands understanding, improves treatment pathways, and changes long-term outcomes. We do this through co-funding arrangements with our partners who draw on the academic and lived experience communities.

People facing challenging circumstances in the UK

We want to see thriving individuals and families equipped to deal with challenges, breaking cycles of deprivation. We are biased towards funding smaller charities, where entrepreneurial leadership and local commitment matter most.

Applications by invitation only

We initiate partnerships directly with organisations whose work aligns with our mission and values.

Bird Song Trust does not accept general funding applications.
