Westminster Methodist Circuit
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its giving goes to organisations that the Church Council and Circuit Meeting agree, and no application process is published, so start by getting in touch through the contact it shows.
- Its annual report gives examples of local work it has supported, including family support, food provision, night shelters, homelessness, community services and prison ministry, and its stated priorities are London and several overseas countries, namely Myanmar, Sierra Leone, Indonesia, Nigeria, Malawi and Ghana.
- The figures for its giving differ between sources, with £27,205 spread across 11 good causes in one statement and £200 in the register's grants to institutions, and no grant range or typical grant size is stated, so ask about likely size before you set a figure.
- Nothing in its annual report or register entry says how competitive it is, how often it decides, or who should not apply.
