St Thomas Oakwood
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St Thomas Oakwood's giving is directed to missionary organisations, so a grant seeker whose work is mission or related Christian charitable activity should test whether it fits.
- Under its own terms, only missionary organisations adopted by the PCC can receive these grants, so an organisation without that adoption should not apply.
- No grant range or typical size is stated, so ask the contact shown what size of request suits before setting a figure.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch with that contact, and nothing published says anything about timing or how many applicants compete.

What they fund
Priority Areas
The church allocates at least 10% of the previous year's stewardship, plus reclaimed tax, to grants for missionary organisations adopted by the PCC. Its website says it supports projects beyond its work in Oakwood and identifies overseas mission partners and societies within its giving. Its report also records other institutional grants to Christian mission and aid organisations. The giving described is therefore directed to organisations engaged in missionary work and related Christian charitable activity, with the PCC adopting the missionary organisations it supports.
