Key takeaways

Your work fits best if it is about health, wellbeing, football or sport for people in Haverhill and the surrounding areas, which its annual report describes as a priority area.
No grant figures or grant range are published, so the annual report gives no basis for a realistic request size; ask the foundation before settling on an amount.
No application process is published, so start with the contact shown in its annual report or on its website.
No deadlines or timings are published, so there is no set window to plan around.
A project in a field outside health, wellbeing, football and sport is a weaker fit with its stated work.
