Key takeaways

This funder suits members of the British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology: its regional educational meeting funding is offered to Society members, and its Overseas Scholarship application must come from a member.
Its single-programme awards are modest, with up to £1,000 for regional educational meetings, up to £1,000 for the Travelling Fellowship, and from £5,000 for the Overseas Scholarship, against £42,367 awarded in total according to the annual report, so a small, specific request is more realistic than a large one.
The funder does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a non-member charity should not expect to qualify, and any approach should be made to the Society first.
For regional meetings, the event must be a full session of about four hours, come with a programme, and be followed by a report on expenses and the meeting's outcomes.
