Key takeaways

St John's Church Beckenham gave £9,997 in its latest annual report, across five grants to organisations, all falling between £1,650 and £3,350, so a request in that range is the realistic size to ask for.
Its stated object is to promote the Church's mission within its ecclesiastical parish, so a grant seeker should ask first whether its work connects with that purpose, since its recipients so far include a missionary aviation organisation, an anti-poverty organisation and other faith-linked bodies.
The annual report and its website publish no application process, so the sensible first step is to contact the address shown and ask how requests are considered and when decisions are made.
The charity's geographic focus is not stated, so do not assume the Bromley area in its register entry limits who may apply.
