The Vale of Stour Methodist Circuit
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Circuit's stated theme is Christian faith, and its work centres on Methodist churches, including worship, pastoral visits, school assemblies, youth clubs, lunch clubs and foodbanks, so requests that link clearly to that work are the best fit.
- The annual report gives total giving of £6,320, which may include grants to individuals, and it gives no grant range, so keep any request modest and do not assume a particular amount.
- No application process is published, so start by getting in touch through the contact shown and ask how the Circuit takes requests and when it considers them.
- No geographic focus or exclusions are stated, so do not rule yourself out on location, though a project with no link to Christian faith or church-based work is less likely to fit its stated theme.
