St John’s Hoxton
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This is a small church-run grant scheme, so it suits work that fits one of its four routes: a request tied to a member of the SJH Electoral Roll who volunteers for your charity, a benefit to another Christian church in the Stepney Episcopal Area, support for a charity with objects in sympathy with SJH that alleviates local poverty, or support for the wider mission of the church in London.
- Organisations that meet none of these routes should not apply.
- Grants generally fall between £250 and £750, and no grant under this scheme will exceed £1500, so a request in that range is realistic.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the PCC Giving Committee recommends them to the PCC, which decides at its meetings, so allow time for that.
- The first route depends on a church member's volunteering, so a personal link to a member is likely to matter, though how competitive the scheme is goes unstated.
