Key takeaways

The charity describes medical, practical and wellbeing support for people with cancer and their families, so a project that serves that need fits its stated work.
Its grant range is not stated and its registered grant giving is only £173, so keep any request modest and ask the charity what it would consider.
No application process is published, so use the contact shown to ask how to apply and when it considers requests; the annual report, register entry and website give no timing or sense of how competitive it is.
Neither the annual report nor its website names any exclusions or eligibility conditions, and its geographic focus is not stated, so ask rather than assume who can apply.
A low grant total is no reason to hold back from getting in touch.
