Key takeaways

Its giving follows a mission policy of promoting the Christian gospel in proclamation and social action, so work on social action or gospel-related ministry is the closest fit the sources show.
The annual report gives no grants figure and no grant range, so there is no evidence of what size of request to make, and it is worth asking the church what it would consider before setting an amount.
No application process is published, and the Rector and PCC decide each case with reference to the Treasurer, so a direct approach to the church is the route the sources point to.
Whether it is competitive or relationship-led, and when it decides, is not stated, so do not assume either.
