RAF Brize Norton Sergeants Mess
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder is likely to suit an event or amenity held on the RAF Brize Norton unit that benefits the wider Service community, since that is the activity its annual grants are described as supporting.
- Its annual giving is £6,464 in total, so a small, modest request is the realistic size, and the grant range is not stated.
- No application process is published, so the best first step is to contact the Mess directly using the contact shown, ideally before its annual financial plan is put to the membership, because the Mess Committee discusses finances at monthly meetings.
- The annual report does not say how competitive funding is, but with no published process and grants agreed through the membership and committee, a relationship-led approach looks likely.
- Organisations with no link to the unit or its Service community are unlikely to fit this programme.
