Byfleet United Charity
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your organisation is based in the Ancient Parish of Byfleet or serves its residents, you can apply for its community grants, which cover hardship, care, mental health, education and community activities.
- Apply through the Apply for a Community Grant link on its website, as it accepts applications on a rolling basis.
- About 8 in 10 of its 16 named grants to organisations fall between £1,500 and £10,500, with a median of £2,500, so a request in that range is realistic, though its largest named grant was £20,500 and that band is not a ceiling.
- Organisations that are not based in the Ancient Parish of Byfleet and do not serve its residents should not apply, and its support for individuals, such as dental, vet and property costs, is not open to organisations.
