St Mary Bredin Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The annual report shows annual giving of £14,026, and no grant range is published, so ask the contact shown on its register entry or website before naming an amount.
- Its purpose is promoting the whole mission of the Church in the ecclesiastical parish, and the recipients recorded include Christian unions and mission partners, so a request should be framed around mission work.
- The report says some donors name the mission partner for their restricted gifts and that the PCC has no discretion over the purpose of restricted funding, so an approach may be better aimed at its unrestricted mission grants than at a named fund.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so make first contact through the contact shown and do not assume a form exists.
