St John's Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its giving to organisations goes to mission partners connected with the church through a partnership or its members, so a group with that kind of link is the closest fit the annual report describes.
- The annual report gives no grant range and no published application process, so contact the address shown before sending a formal request, and ask what size of gift it has made in the past.
- Its hardship fund is for people suffering financial hardship, at the discretion of the Vicar and Church Wardens, so an organisation should not frame a request around it.
- The PCC reviews mission partners each year against its vision and values, so describe your work in those terms and allow for that review when timing an approach.
