Key takeaways

This funder is a church's parish council that directs its giving to Christian mission in the UK and overseas, and it also names relief for people in need among its aims, so work with that focus is the best fit.
Its stated geographic priority is the UK, and its total annual giving is £10,800 with no grant range given, so the size of any single gift is unknown and a modest request is the safest assumption.
The annual report says it works by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to succeed, though its how-to-apply note mentions appeals that come to the church during the year.
Any approach is best made through a route the church already knows rather than an open application.
