The Frank Parkinson Yorkshire Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust considers grants only to registered charities whose work is in the Guiseley area and aligns with its charitable aims, so a charity outside Guiseley, or one that is not registered, should not apply.
- If your work touches older-adult accommodation, community wellbeing, information technology or engineering education, or relief and hardship, it may fit the Trust's themes.
- The Trust describes its funds as very limited, and the annual report gave no readable grants figure, so a modest, specific request is the sensible place to start.
- Send a detailed request with full supporting papers by email; applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to wait for.
