Key takeaways

St Aidan Gravesend's stated priority is the ecclesiastical parish, and its work centres on the congregation and parish community, so a request fits best if it serves that community through church work, youth clubs, older people's social clubs, nursery schools or school assemblies.
The annual report gives one total of £25,200, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible starting point, but ask what the funder can consider before naming a figure.
No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so get in touch through the contact the charity gives rather than submitting a formal bid, and allow time for a reply since no deadlines are published.
Nothing published says how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, so approach it as an enquiry rather than assuming a set process.
