Nine Yards

• Nine Yards' work on healthier, more sustainable lives, through community growing, active travel, affordable warmth and local food, fits best with groups in Middlesbrough, which the charity names as its priority, and with the wider Tees Valley area.
• The typical grants reported run from £410 to £20,000, with a median of £500, so a modest request is the realistic size to ask for.
• No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to contact the charity using the contact shown on its website and in its annual report.
• Its recorded grants are few and go to a church, a school, a football club, a club for older people, a children's setting and a shop set-up, but the annual report does not state what each award was for.
• Neither the annual report nor its website says anything about timing or how competitive funding is, so an early conversation is the best way to learn how it works.
