The Regimental Charity of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border)
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This funder suits applicants whose work supports serving or former members of the Regiment, their dependants, or the Regiment's battalions, welfare, heritage, sport or events, and its focus is West Lancashire District.
- Its welfare cases under the George Walmsley Blundell Indenture are limited to that district, and it reportedly does not give funds directly to individuals, so people in need should seek help through a recognised agency.
- Its annual giving is £65,808 and no grant range is stated, so a modest request suits a funder of this size.
- No application process is published, so use the contact shown to get in touch first, and be ready to send supporting evidence from the recognised agency.
