Applications

As it is the Intention of the Trustees to favour support for those charities who help others by utilising the generous time and skills of volunteers, they accept applications in the short form of a letter, rather than expecting the completion of a complicated application form, which may seem daunting to some applicants.

In order to safe-guard our Charity Status, it is important that we are accountable for how funds are distributed. As such, the following protocols exist for making and investigating applications.

Please note we only accept applications from Registered Charities, and the Registered Charity Address must be included in the application process.

For Large grants and multiple grants, trustees would like to see as much supporting information as possible, and it rare cases, they may wish to interview the applicant.

Your applications must include :-

1. A Description of the project that the Charity is undertaking, who it hopes to help, and any evidence which will support the need for this particular project.

2. How much the project will cost, capital and revenue, with an indication of the amounts involved.

3. How much the charity has raised so far, and where it expects to find the balance.

4. The type of support sought; i.e. small grant, multiple grant, loan, etc.

5. How much does it cost to run the charity each year, including how much of the revenue is spent on salaries and employees. Where does the revenue come from? How many paid workers are there, how many volunteers are there.
