Key takeaways

The Parish states an international priority, so a request for overseas work fits its stated focus best, and a purely local project may sit less well with it.
Its total outward giving reported in the annual report is £19,377 across all its donations, so a modest request is the realistic scale, and no grant range is stated.
No application process is published, so the contact shown on its website or register entry is the route to take, with a short introduction that explains the work and the amount sought.
No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so nothing in the sources rules any applicant out.
