St Paul's Church Dorking

Key takeaways

Its stated outward giving covers local charities through the Community Social Transformation team and World Church mission partners, and its stated priority is the rest of the UK, so a charity whose work reaches beyond its own area may see a fit.
The annual report gives no grants figure and no grant range is stated, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from the published information, and the register shows no grants to institutions for the latest year, so a modest, carefully costed request is the safer starting point.
No application process is published in the annual report, register entry or website, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown and ask how decisions are made.
The PCC makes decisions on recommendations from the two teams and sets the outward-giving budget each year, so it is worth asking about timing around that, though how competitive it is has not been stated.

St Paul's Church Dorking is a charity registered in England and Wales whose parochial church council, the PCC, oversees all that goes on at the church and promotes the whole mission of the Church in the ecclesiastical parish.

That support is split between local charities, supported through its Community Social Transformation team, and World Church mission partners.
