St. Martin in the Bullring
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its annual report shows total annual giving of £8,800, with grants listed to a youth and community centre and three other organisations, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- The charity publishes no application process and its website describes no public grants programme, so the only route in is the contact shown, and a short enquiry is the sensible first step.
- Unrestricted grants are decided by the PCC, which takes account of previous giving, congregation input and the Church's vision and mission, so a request that clearly fits the parish's mission and has some existing connection to the congregation is likely to be better placed, though how much weight this carries is not stated.
- The annual report shows most grants going to East Sussex, but no geographic focus is stated, so that is not a rule about who may apply, and no timing, grant range or exclusions are given, so check with the charity before assuming any deadline or limit.
