St James Muswell Hill
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated geographic focus is the UK, though its named recipients also include overseas churches and global charities, so an organisation working abroad should still check with it first.
- Its giving runs largely through a World Mission Group that works with partners, so the themes it names (overseas churches, global charities, and UK missions and societies) are the clearest fit, and a local service with no mission link may find the match weaker.
- The annual report gives one total of £84,922 paid, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from what is published.
- No application process is published, so the best first step is to get in touch through the contact shown, since the charity says its World Mission Group liaises closely with partners and takes their needs into account.

What they fund
Priority Areas
St James sets aside part of its unrestricted donations for mission giving and pays its charitable giving to missions and charities in the UK and overseas. The World Mission Group develops mission links outside the parish and distributes most of the funds designated for mission. Support is channelled through world mission partners, with the group liaising closely with partners and responding to their needs. Its named recipient fields include overseas churches and global charities, as well as UK missions and societies. The church also says that its giving funds most of its directly delivered work and that it pledges a share to World Mission. Its giving therefore combines direct parish activity with mission-oriented support to organisations at home and abroad.
