St Olave, St Thomas and St John United Charity
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder fits if your work reaches people resident in the former Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey in the London Borough of Southwark, or Rotherhithe, who are in need, hardship or distress, or local schools that serve that area.
- Its stated purposes centre on individual relief, local schools and holidays, so an organisation that works directly with those groups is better placed than one seeking money for general running costs.
- The annual report gives total annual giving of £17,250, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one, and no grant range is published.
- No application process is published, so contact the shown contact first to ask how to proceed before writing anything.
- Do not apply for educational support if the person is aged 25 or over, for schools that do not substantially serve the area, or for people who are not resident in the area or not in need.
