Lancashire Central & North Area Meeting
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder's stated purpose is the religious and charitable work of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), so a request should connect to that work in Lancashire Central and North, which is the area it gives priority to.
- Its annual giving was £25,979 in its most recent annual report, but no typical grant size is given, so a small, carefully costed request is a sensible starting point.
- No way to apply was found in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so any first approach would need to be made by contacting the charity directly.
- The sources give no information on how competitive its giving is or whether it works mainly through relationships, so ask about its process before writing a full application.
