Key takeaways

Its stated priority is Alresford and district, so a group working in that area has the clearest case to make, though its registered area is Hampshire.
Its annual giving is £40,000, shared among local recipients, so a modest, specific request is more likely to fit than a large one.
No application process is published, so the best first step is to use the contact shown in its annual report or on its website to ask whether it accepts requests and when it decides.
Neither the annual report nor its website says how competitive its giving is or what grant sizes are typical.
