Christ Church Kensington
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The charity's stated purpose is promoting the whole mission of the Church in its parish, and its reported support centres on mission partnerships, churches and Christian networks, mission organisations, university Christian Unions and summer camps, so a request should show how the work serves that mission.
- Typical grants reported fall between £1,000 and £15,000, with a median of about £2,300, so a modest request in that range fits what it has given before.
- Neither the annual report nor its website publishes an application process, only a contact to get in touch with, so a short enquiry to that contact is the sensible first step before writing a full application.
- The sources do not state a geographic focus or how competitive its giving is, though its Charity Commission registered area is Kensington And Chelsea, so ask about area fit when you make contact.
