About Us

Who we are

Founded in 1967 by John Dallow, a member of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, The Grace Trust was established following the sale of his manufacturing business. As a testament to his deep Christian faith, Mr. Dallow dedicated a significant portion of the proceeds of his business sale to charitable causes, creating a lasting legacy of generosity and compassion.

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church

The Grace Trust now serves as one of the principal means by which members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church support charities and charitable activity in the UK. Funded by donations from the Church community, the Trust provides grants to support initiatives that benefit society in service to the community’s Christian principles of care and compassion.Since its founding in 1967, The Grace Trust has gone from strength to strength, thanks to the generosity and commitment of its donors and volunteers.
