Key takeaways

  • The trust states a priority for Derbyshire and reports grants for education, health, sports and other local groups, so a Derbyshire group working in one of these areas has a clear reason to look at it.
  • Its annual report gives total giving of £301,743 but no individual grant sizes, so the typical or largest grant is not known and any request should be sized to your own project costs.
  • No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown and ask about the process, timing and whether your project fits.
  • The annual report's total may include grants to individuals, and the register does not confirm its scale, so treat the figure as indicative.
