The Frederick Soddy Trust
Charity Number 313379 was established in 1957 under the terms set out in the will of the chemist and Nobel Laureate, Professor Frederick Soddy FRS.

Professor Soddy had been closely associated with the Le Play Society, and the terms of the Trust reflect the work of that society. The Trust offers support for the study of a whole life of an area which includes human geography: the social, economic and cultural life of specific regions within the United Kingdom, Ireland or elsewhere in the world. It supports geographical fieldwork in schools through a scheme with the Geographical Association, supports expeditions which meet the terms of the Trust, and supports other relevant projects. The Trust offers an annual grant to support fieldwork costs for a postgraduate student through a scheme with the Royal Geographical Society.

In its early days the Frederick Soddy Trust created Frederick Soddy Research Fellows, one of whom, Linda Merricks, wrote a biography of Soddy,.
