Key takeaways

The funder directs its giving in equal shares to support for disadvantaged young people and to hospice care, and it channels grants through charitable organisations, so a request should show clearly how the work fits one of those two themes.
No grant range is stated, so there is no typical figure to go by, and the annual report's annual giving of £65,000 is a total, not a grant size; keep any request to what your project needs.
The annual report shows grants mainly in London and Barnet, but no geographic focus is stated, so treat that as past giving rather than a rule about who may apply.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown on its website or in the annual report to ask whether it accepts approaches before writing a full proposal.
