St Thomas with St Stephen Church in Balham, Streatham Hill & Clapham Park
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Neither the annual report, the register entry nor the website publishes an application process, and no grant range is stated, so a small charity should first use the contact shown to ask whether the charity takes requests from outside its five mission partners before sending a proposal.
- Its giving, as the annual report describes it, goes through annual gifts to five named mission partners, so an approach works best if it shows how the applicant's work links to Christian mission, pastoral care, disability services, leadership development or support for persecuted Christians.
- No geographic focus is stated; the Charity Commission registration lists Wandsworth and Lambeth as its area of operation, which describes its registration and does not set a rule on who may apply.
- No exclusions are stated, so no organisation should be ruled out on these grounds, but any request should be modest and framed as a conversation, since no typical amount is published to aim for.
