The Poland Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust's stated work covers housing accommodation, amenity land for recreation, and relief for people in need, hardship or distress, so a project in one of those areas is the kind to raise.
- Its work is directed to the parishes of Brockham, Betchworth, Leigh and Buckland, with priority given to Brockham residents, so an organisation working outside those parishes is unlikely to fit.
- Its latest annual report gives total giving of £6,544, which may include grants to individuals, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown, and nothing available says how competitive or relationship-led its giving is.
