Key takeaways

The annual report gives no grant figure, grant range or published application process, so a grant writer should not assume a typical amount and should use the contact shown in the register entry or on its website to ask how it works.
Its registered area of operation is throughout England and Wales, but no geographic focus is stated.
Its £1 Giving Initiative pools members' weekly contributions of at least £1 and donates the total to a nominated organisation, so the route in appears to run through that nomination, though the annual report does not describe how a nomination is made.
The closest fit is a nonprofit whose work relieves poverty or serves young carers, disabled people, families, people facing food insecurity or homelessness, people in distress, or patients, through arts, sport, mental health, food banks, homelessness support, hospice care or disabled access.
