Key takeaways

St Wilfrid's describes its main focus as serving the local community and sharing the Christian faith, and it says it supports Christian charities, so a request is most likely to fit if it links to local food, housing or family support, to children's welfare, or to its international aid or leprosy work.
The annual report gives no grants figure that can be read, and no grant range or geographic focus is stated, so do not assume a size for your request; ask the church what it would consider before you write a full proposal.
No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, so start with the contact shown on its website and ask how it prefers to receive approaches.
Its work is delivered through congregation collections, fundraising events and practical help, so a request should show how your project connects with that.
No exclusions are stated, so a small organisation need not assume it is ruled out.
