Lord's Taverners

Key takeaways

The Lord's Taverners runs its own free cricket programmes for disabled young people and young people facing socio-economic disadvantage, so a grant writer whose work is not built around cricket, disability or disadvantage is unlikely to fit its themes.
No application process is published, and the only route shown is the contact on its website, so make that call before writing a full request and ask what it would consider.
No grant size or typical amount is published, so propose a modest, clearly costed request and let the funder's reply shape any larger ask.
Because no grants figure could be read and the register records no grants to institutions in its latest year, treat it as an unproven source of money and keep applications to other funders moving in parallel.
