Key takeaways

  • The trust makes grants to other charities when it has funds, and its annual report does not name particular fields, beneficiary groups or a geographic focus, so a charity whose work falls in many areas may fit, though the published information gives little detail to judge fit by.
  • Its annual report shows giving of £213,260, but no grant range is stated, so a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible starting point.
  • No application process is published, so contact the trust using the contact shown in its register entry to ask whether it is open to applications before writing a full proposal.
  • Nothing published says how competitive grants are, whether relationships matter or when decisions are made, so ask about these at the same time.
  • Its trustees check that applicants' activities comply with public-benefit guidance, so show clearly how your work meets that test.
