Key takeaways

Church of the Martyrs gives from its tithe donations, to general causes and to particular work such as a food bank, church-planting projects in India, Christmas parcels for vulnerable people and its Hardship Fund.
A small nonprofit whose work involves hardship support or practical help for people in need has the clearest fit, and the only specific amount shown is £825 to the Hardship Fund, so a modest request is the realistic starting point.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact the charity shows and ask how it considers requests.
Its total annual giving of £6,604 is a modest sum, so do not assume a repeat award.
