Key takeaways

  • Holy Saviour Bitterne directs its giving to mission partners, including agencies at home and abroad, partner parishes in Uganda and local groups reached through mission outreach, so a grant writer should check whether their work serves that kind of mission before applying.
  • The annual report does not give a usable annual giving total or grant range, so there is no reliable guide to a realistic request size, and a modest, clearly costed request is the safest starting point.
  • Its website and annual report publish no application process, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask whether it accepts approaches and what it needs.
  • The annual report does not say how competitive its giving is or when decisions are made, so ask about timing when you make contact.

Priority Areas

Holy Saviour directs its mission and outreach giving to its Mission Partners, sharing an allocation from personal giving equally among agencies. Its Mission and Outreach Team supports mission partners abroad as well as local groups, and recommends how mission giving is distributed. A dedicated fund provides community and financial support to partner parishes in Uganda. The reported recipients are therefore mission agencies and partner parishes, alongside local groups supported through mission outreach. Its approach sustains support for current partners, with the wider parish mission described as pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
