An introduction to grants offered by the Rochester Bridge Trust

The Rochester Bridge Trust’s main charitable purpose is to provide crossings of the River Medway. It makes funds available for grants only when it has a long-term surplus after providing for its main purpose.

These pages outline the projects and locations which are eligible for a grant. Potential applicants are advised to read the relevant Grants Policy before submitting an application.

Grants are awarded for between 25% to 75% of the total cost of a project, unless otherwise stated.

The Trust supports projects which reflect the Trust’s own history, values and activities. These include: agriculture, civil engineering, education, local history and heritage. A full explanation of all the areas covered by the programmes can be seen in the Grant Policy documents, for General and Estates, and in the Small Education Grants Scheme.
