St Mary's Longfleet, Poole
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St Mary's Longfleet is the giving arm of a parish church's PCC, and its stated themes are Christian aid and mission agencies, so requests work best when they show a link to overseas mission, relief and development, home missions or pastoral support.
- Its annual report gives total giving of £43,474 and no grant range, so no typical request size can be given, and a modest, clearly costed request is the safer starting point.
- Neither the annual report, its register entry nor its website publishes an application process, so the first step is to contact the address shown and ask whether and how to apply.
- The published information says nothing about timing, deadlines or how competitive the funding is, so do not assume a cycle, and it states no exclusions, though its stated priority is the UK.
