The LM Kendon Settlement
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your organisation is based in the London Borough of Newham and supports older residents, the funder's stated purposes fit: essential equipment that improves wellbeing, comfort or independence, celebrations that bring joy and community, and projects that strengthen services for older people.
- Organisations based outside Newham, or that do not support elderly residents, should not apply, because the funder excludes both.
- The annual report gives £22,750 paid in total, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so a modest request is a sensible starting point, but the usual size is not known.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted online by an individual acting for the charity, so name one person to lead it.
- It is not stated how competitive the funder is or whether it prefers relationships with applicants, so it is worth contacting it before investing time in a full application.
