The Marina Dalglish Appeal
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Appeal's stated themes are cancer care, patient-care facilities, hospital equipment and medical research, so a project in one of these areas is the clearest fit; work outside them is a weaker match.
- The annual report shows £398,013 paid out, but it gives no grant range, so a modest, specific request is the safer starting point.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown there to ask whether a request would be considered.
- Its stated commitment to oncology projects is qualified by "when reserves permit", so check availability before planning around a grant.
- Nothing in the available information names exclusions or eligibility limits, so no organisation should be ruled out on those grounds.
