Hope Church Orpington
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Hope Church Orpington's stated aims are the advancement of the Christian faith and the relief of hardship, and its themes are Christian faith, relief of hardship and international development, so a request is most likely to fit if it links to one of these.
- The charity records its geographic focus as Orpington and Global, and its Elders consider and approve gifts on the basis of need and how well they fulfil its charitable objectives, so make the need and the link to those objectives clear.
- No application process is published and the grant range is not stated, so begin with a short enquiry through the contact the charity shows and keep any request proportionate to the need you can evidence.
- The annual report gives annual giving of £118,411, but the register does not confirm that scale, so treat it as a rough guide only.
