This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Your work fits this trust best if it concerns church buildings or the mission and ministry of St Swithun's, Headbourne Worthy, or of churches linked with it, or Church of England mission in the Diocese of Winchester.
- Its annual report describes past grants to parish church councils for a lay pastoral assistant, a roofing project and youth and children's provision.
- A group outside church work, or outside that diocese, would not fit its stated purposes.
- Its grant range is not stated, so ask the trust what size of request it considers before you name a figure.
- One listing says it accepts applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, while its how-to-apply section says bodies that can benefit make requests, which trustees consider at their meetings, so confirm the route with the trust before you write and ask when its trustees next meet, since no meeting dates are given.
