Shirley Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Shirley Baptist Church's giving fits best with Christian organisations and societies whose aims are compatible with the Church's own charitable purpose and whose charitable objects complement its work.
- Its stated geographic priority is international, so work overseas or with an international reach is the most natural match.
- No grant range is published, so the total of £13,206 in the annual report gives only a rough sense of scale; a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible starting point.
- No application process is published, so the best first step is to get in touch using the contact shown and explain how your objects complement the Church's work.
- Organisations whose aims are not Christian, or not compatible with the Church's charitable purpose of advancing the Christian faith according to Baptist principles, are unlikely to fit.
