Neither the annual report nor its website publishes an application process, so get in touch through the contact shown and ask how it accepts requests before sending a full proposal.
The annual report gives one total of £280,818 paid, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so you cannot tell from the published information what a typical request would be.
The annual report does not say how competitive funding is or when decisions are made, so treat any timing as something to confirm with the funder directly.
