The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Leek and Meerbrook
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The annual report shows annual giving of £14,256, a figure the register does not confirm, so a small, specific request is more realistic than a large one.
- Its recorded giving goes to mission and development organisations, special appeals and a youth-worker project, and its themes are mission organisations and youth work, so a request that clearly fits one of these is the strongest match.
- The annual report states no grant range, no geographic focus for grants and no published application process, so contact the charity first using the contact shown and ask whether it accepts applications before writing a full proposal.
- Its register entry lists Staffordshire as its area of operation, but nothing published says how that applies to grants, so confirm fit before assuming it.
- Nothing in its annual report or register entry shows how competitive its giving is or when decisions are made, so treat both as unknown and ask.
