St Mark's Gillingham
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The annual report says the charity exists to promote the Gospel and to support the Church of England's wider parish mission, so a request should show how the work connects to that purpose.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between £360 and £1,800, with a median of £1,000, so a request in that range fits; the largest reported grant was £2,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
- Its website presents its recipients as Mission Partners, which suggests existing links with the church may matter, so a cold approach may be less likely to succeed.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown in the annual report to ask how to apply, and to note that its stated priority area is St Mary's Island and Chatham.
