St. Peter's Church, Henfield with St. Giles' Shermanbury and St. Peter's Woodmancote
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The parish directs most of its giving to four or five main charities that the churches already have ongoing relationships with, so an approach from a charity they do not yet know is unlikely to be a strong fit.
- No application process is published in the annual report or on its website, and the only contact shown is for getting in touch, so a short enquiry asking whether the churches take approaches is a sensible first step before writing a full application.
- Its annual giving totals £1,419, so any request should be modest and should speak to the churches' concern for need and social justice, which they say they seek to understand.
- Its grant range and geographic focus are not stated, and its registered area of West Sussex describes where it operates, not who may apply.
- Seasonal appeals and collections run through the year and are the other ways it raises and gives money.
