Holy Trinity Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Holy Trinity Church directs its giving to selected charities whose objectives the PCC considers in line with its own church mission, so a request will fit best if your work clearly serves a purpose the church would recognise.
- Typical grants fall between £100 and £2,200, and about 8 in 10 of its 11 grants to organisations sit in that band, with a median of £400 and a largest grant of about £2,250, so a modest request is the most realistic ask.
- No application process is published, so start with a short email or call to the contact shown on its website or in its annual report before writing a full proposal.
- Most of its money comes from the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day collections and Gift Aid, so an approach made well ahead of the festive season is sensible.
- Its annual report shows grants mainly in Stratford-upon-Avon, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume you are excluded from elsewhere; the link to the church's objectives matters most.

Priority Areas
The PCC’s primary function is to worship God, and its charitable purpose is promoting the whole mission of the Church in the ecclesiastical parish. Its grant policy directs the collections in Holy Trinity on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, together with reclaimable Gift Aid and associated income, to selected charities at home and overseas whose objectives it considers in line with its own. Special collections for named charities, agreed by the PCC or village-church officers, are passed to those charities. The PCC may also make additional grants from unrestricted income to causes that directly match its objectives. Its grants therefore follow its church objectives, while the recipient charities and causes can vary.
