Key takeaways

This trust fits best if your work is poverty reduction or community development in East Durham, since those are its stated themes and its focus.
Its annual report gives no grant figure that could be read, and the latest register return shows no grants to institutions, so there is no basis for judging a realistic request size.
No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, so contact the trust directly to ask how it takes applications and whether it is open to new approaches.
Its published information says nothing about timing, competition or who it excludes, so do not assume any of these.
