British Horse Society

British Horse Society is a UK-based charity dedicated to promoting the welfare, safety, training, and education of horses and riders.

The charity’s mission is to improve equine welfare through education, support, and advocacy. It promotes safe riding environments for all, particularly on roads and bridleways, provides training and certification for equestrian professionals and horse owners, and encourages responsible horse ownership and management. British Horse Society (BHS) also actively campaigns against neglect and cruelty.

BHS has been a GrantFinder user since 2022.

GrantFinder is a subscription-based, dynamic funding database designed for community groups, charities, community groups, researchers, and public-sector organisations across the UK.

The platform allows users to search thousands of live funding opportunities from national, local, and international sources including charitable trusts, government bodies, research councils, EU/UK programmes, and corporate sponsors.

Eleanor Hashim, Senior Fundraising Manager at BHS, said:

“GrantFinder is really useful. The search tool is easy to navigate and makes saving items simple. It’s been great receiving weekly newsletters directly in my inbox with saved searches relevant to my projects.

“The share tool, which allows me to easily send funding information to colleagues, is also very helpful. Grant-maker information is clearly presented, with useful links to their websites.

“We also use the PolicyMatch add-on, which has added weight to my funding applications. I absolutely recommend the platform to anyone seeking funding opportunities.”

PolicyMatch is a GrantFinder module that saves time during the grant application process by ensuring alignment with key social and public policies. It connects users with Idox’s exclusive policy database, offering expert-written abstracts and policy insights.
