Key takeaways

The St Chad's Small Grants Fund is aimed at small, locally based voluntary and community groups and registered charities that benefit people in St. Chad's Parish, so an organisation working mainly outside that area is unlikely to fit its stated aim.
Its focus areas are isolation among young or older people, activities that bring local people together on projects and reduce isolation, local environmental issues, volunteering projects and intergenerational activities, so a proposal should show how it meets one or more of these.
The annual report gives total annual giving of £11,530, which suggests a modest request is more realistic than a large one, though no grant range is published.
No application process is published, and the contact shown is for getting in touch, so an initial enquiry before writing a full application is the sensible first step.
