Manor & Castle Development Trust Ltd
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust's stated focus is the Manor and Castle areas of the City of Sheffield, so check that your work and beneficiaries are there before approaching it.
- Its total annual giving is £10,000 in its most recent annual report, and it describes its grants to local community groups as small, so a modest request is the sensible starting point; no grant range is stated, so do not assume a particular size.
- The annual report and its website publish no application process, so get in touch through the contact shown first to ask how to proceed and whether your request would fit.
- Neither the annual report nor its website gives any timing or competition information, so treat any approach as exploratory.
