Key takeaways

The charity's own material gives no grants figure, no grant range and no published application process, so a grant seeker cannot judge the size of a request from it.
Its stated priority area is the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, and its themes are Scouting and youth development, so work with young people in that area is the closest fit.
Before making any request, contact the address shown in the annual report or on the register entry to ask whether the charity accepts applications and what it considers.
The charity's own material gives no grounds for ruling anyone out.
