Hugh Sexey's Hospital
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Hospital's external giving is small: £741 in its latest reported year, and the Visitors decide each year how much to allocate, so a modest request is the realistic fit.
- It mainly supports young people and older people, through donations for their benefit and well-being or to other charities with similar objectives, and it also gives to local schools.
- It does not fund beneficiaries outside the local and regional area, so organisations whose work reaches beyond that should not apply.
- No application process is published, but applicants must complete an application form, so use the contact shown on its website to ask for the form before you write.
