The Leprosy Mission Great Britain
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated themes (leprosy prevention, disability support, anti-discrimination, healthcare, education, livelihood support and leprosy research) and the priority countries it lists, nine in Africa and Asia, are the first test of fit for your project.
- Its named grants have a median of about £195,000, so its recorded awards are large, and a small organisation should not assume a modest request matches its usual pattern.
- No application process is published, so the practical first step is to contact the charity, and the charity says it works with organisations outside the TLM Global Fellowship when they can deliver a specific service to people who would otherwise be neglected.
- Trust partners can support the work generally or choose a country or project, so say which you would want to support.
- Nothing published says anything about timing or how competitive it is, so do not assume a set round.
