Key takeaways

The charity's giving is confined to the parish of Hampton in Arden, and it does not fund charitable purposes for people outside the parish, so a group based elsewhere is unlikely to fit.
Its annual report shows £4,250 awarded in the latest year reported, so a modest, specific request is more realistic than a large one, and no grant range is given.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and the Trustees welcome them; each is reviewed case by case against available resources, a sub-committee recommends, and the Board of Trustees decides.
Individuals seeking pension or hardship help should note that it does not fund people who have not lived in the area for at least two years, except in special cases approved by the Charity Commission.
It does not say how competitive funding is, so make clear in your application how your work serves the parish.
