Selby Abbey
Key takeaways
- Selby Abbey's grant provision is narrow: grants may be made from trust income only where documentary evidence shows a requirement for repair or refurbishment of the Abbey's structure, so an organisation whose project is not about that should not apply.
- If your project does fit, the documentary evidence of that need is the only thing the funder asks for, and no application process is published.
- The annual report gave no grants figure that could be read, and no grant range is stated, so a realistic size of request cannot be judged from the available information.
- Its wider parish activities describe the PCC's public work rather than a grant programme, so they should not be read as an open route for funding.

Priority Areas
The PCC's grant provision is focused on the Abbey's fabric: grants may be made from trust income where documentary evidence shows a requirement for repair or refurbishment of the Abbey's structure. Its wider parish work includes public worship and sacred space, teaching Christianity, pastoral work, children's and youth groups, and space for local organisations and charities to hold concerts and events sympathetic to the Church's ethos. The grants condition is specifically tied to documentary evidence of structural repair or refurbishment; the wider activities describe the PCC's public work rather than a broader grant programme.
