St Mary’s Parochial Church Council
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its reported organisational giving has gone to mission societies and Christian organisations, as well as a homeless shelter, children's and prison-support charities, a food bank and other charitable bodies, so work with a mission or charitable focus is the closest fit.
- Its stated priority is 'this country', though it also supports work abroad, including a group that gathers goods for schools and hospitals in East Africa.
- Typical grants fall between £155 and £2,600, with about 8 in 10 of its 16 grants to organisations in that band and the largest about £3,200, so a modest request near its median of £1,150 is in line with its past giving.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the only route the sources give is the contact shown, and a short enquiry before any formal request makes sense.
- The sources state no eligibility rules or exclusions, and they describe this as church giving rather than a published grant programme, so a group that does not match the mission or charitable pattern should not assume a route exists.
