Key takeaways

St Laurence Catford's giving reaches both local needs and causes beyond the parish, including hospice care, support for mothers and children, food assistance and asylum-seeker support, so check that your project sits within one of these areas.
Its annual report gives annual giving of £200, a figure the register does not confirm, so any request should be modest and it is unclear how many grants it can make.
No application process is published, so the realistic first step is to use the contact shown in its annual report or on its website and ask whether the PCC is open to a request before writing a full proposal.
Nothing in its published material states exclusions or geographic limits, so its registered area of Lewisham is worth noting but is not a reason to rule yourself out.
Timing and competitiveness cannot be judged from what is published, so ask about its decision schedule when you make contact.
