Key takeaways

The Parish of Wanstead's purposes centre on worship and relieving poverty, loneliness and need, so a request fits best if it addresses local people in need or a community activity the parish already runs.
Its reported giving is £7,876, and the only specific grant example is a single hardship payment of £600 to one individual, so a modest request is the realistic size.
No way to apply is published, so contact the parish directly to ask how to approach it before writing a full proposal.
It makes small grants on an ad-hoc basis, so ask about timing rather than expecting a set deadline.
Its giving looks relationship-led rather than competitive, and no exclusions are stated.
