Key takeaways

Its stated work is Christian mission in practical action, including help with energy bills, support for needs identified through a support network, and community outreach, so a project that serves local people in those ways is the best fit.
Its annual giving is about £3,412 according to the annual report, read from a scanned copy and not confirmed by the register, and its grant range is not stated, so a small, specific request is more realistic than a large one.
No application process is published, so contact the charity first using the details shown before sending a full proposal.
Its Community Fund Kingsnorth is for people in the Kingsnorth area who are struggling with energy bills, so applicants outside that area should not expect to qualify for that fund.
Its registered area of operation is Kent, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume a narrower area applies.
