Sarah's Trust is a United Kingdom-based charity launched in 2020 by Sarah, Duchess of York.
At the time of its launch, the charity provided aid for NHS, care home and hospice staff by delivering more than 150,000 items, including food, masks, scrubs, and toiletries.

In March 2022, Sarah travelled to Poland amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian refugees and help her charity the Sarah's Trust in organising goods donated by UK citizens. [3] In July 2022, the charity secured money to fund £14,000-worth of computers for Ukrainian refugees in Poland.

In 2023, Sarah's Trust supported St Matthew's Church, Burnley. The charity provided community support via gift bags, funding food projects, and sponsoring a pantomime outing for local families. [5]
