Svenska kyrkan i London
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The parish's grant giving runs through the Thora Ohlsson Cultural Fund, which supports students and cultural activities with the Swedish congregation in London, so a request fits best if it is clearly tied to that congregation.
- No application process, grant range or geographic focus is published, though the register gives its area of operation as throughout England and Wales, so the sensible first step is to contact the address shown and ask whether a request could be considered.
- The only grant total on record is £24,600 in scholarships, so a modest, specific request is the size the fund's record points to.
- Groups with no link to the Swedish congregation in London, or to student or cultural work connected with it, are unlikely to fit the fund's stated purpose.
