Key takeaways

  • The Trust's main purpose is running sheltered accommodation for older people at Easebourne, so a request fits most clearly if your work relates to that, although its trustees also consider appeals from other charities.
  • The annual report shows £97,714 awarded in the latest year reported, and its listed organisational grants went to a heritage trust, two other trusts and a primary school, but no typical grant size is stated, so ask for an amount you can justify.
  • Rolling applications are accepted, yet no address, email or phone number is published, so check the annual report for how to make first contact before writing.
  • Nothing published says how competitive giving is or whether it depends on personal relationships, so treat it as an open enquiry.
  • No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so the Trust's focus on Easebourne is the main guide to fit.
