Key takeaways

The Trust's stated work is Christian mission and aid, supporting missionaries and aid workers through prayer, finance and practical action, and funding local ministries in South Wales, so an application fits best if it describes that kind of work.
Its listed priority areas are the UK, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea, Uganda, Ukraine, South Wales, and north Cardiff and its surrounding area, which shows where it gives priority rather than who may apply.
The annual report gives no usable grants figure and no grant range is stated, so the likely size of a request cannot be judged from published information, and it is worth asking the Trust directly what it normally gives.
No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown there.
Nothing published says how competitive it is or when it considers requests, so ask about timing when you make contact.
