Key takeaways

Bakewell Parish Church's annual report describes its purpose as promoting the Church's mission in the parish, through pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical work, alongside regular worship, children's activities and the upkeep of its two church buildings.
Work that is run by or serves the parish is the closest fit, because the report says the PCC can no longer afford small contributions to outside charities alongside the full Parish Share, so an outside charity should not expect a grant.
No grant amounts, grant range or application process are published, so there is no typical request size to aim for, and the contact shown on the register is the only route in.
Before writing anything, get in touch to ask whether the church would consider a request at all.
