Key takeaways

  • Whether this fits depends on whether your work serves the Board's stated priorities: introducing people to Jesus, deepening discipleship, developing Christian leaders and working for justice.
  • Its main grants support mission and chaplaincy in the world of work and initiatives with ecumenical partners, and the two main grants named are £35,000 and £8,284, so a request should be sized against those figures rather than assumed to be typical, since no grant range is stated.
  • The annual report, register entry and other pages give no way to apply, so ask the Board how it wants enquiries made before preparing a full proposal.
  • The Geographic focus is stated as Diocese Of Liverpool: Wigan County, Knowsley County, Liverpool and 7 more places in United Kingdom, and no exclusions or eligibility conditions are stated, so no organisation should be ruled out on that basis.
