In the charity's own words

The charity invests funds with a view to paying income and, in exceptional circumstances, a part of capital to such charities as the trustees in their absolute discretion see fit. For the foreseeable future, when making grants, the trustees will give priority to charities supporting young people and the homeless, with special emphasis on those based in Islington.
