Renewal
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Renewal is a Christian charity that gives priority to the West Midlands, so a faith-based group there, or one working on mission work or with widows and orphans, is the best fit to look at.
- The annual report puts its annual giving at £69,000, which is the only size guide available, since the register does not confirm that figure and no grant range is stated, so keep any request modest.
- No application process is published, so the only route is to get in touch through the contact it shows, and it says it collaborates with established and reputable charities when introducing new initiatives, so presenting your work as a partnership may suit it.
- No deadlines or timing are published, and the charity's own community projects, such as Helping Hands, are described as its own activities.
