Key takeaways

Kingsbury Charity's stated focus is the Ancient Parish of Kingsbury, so a project that serves people in that area is the natural fit.
Its named grants to organisations have fallen within a typical band of £11,000 to £76,500, with a median of £16,000, so a request of that order suits it better than a very small one.
The annual report and website publish no application process, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown for getting in touch and ask how it considers requests.
Anyone seeking its support as an individual must be resident in Kingsbury or have family ties there, be aged 55 or over, and be of limited income or on state benefits, so people who do not meet those terms should not apply on that basis.

Overview

Kingsbury Charity is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 205797).

Kingsbury Charity was formed to provide relief for residents of the ancient parish of Kingsbury when in need, and it originates from a bequest to assist the poor and needy with the necessities of life and to supply apprentices with the tools of their trade. It has two sites with 39 flats in total, which it runs as almshouses, alongside a grants and donation scheme that gives financial support to some local organisations and charities. Its annual giving is £210,760, and it combines prudent management of its assets and investments with making funds available for grants.
