Wirral Methodist Circuit
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Circuit's stated focus is the Wirral Peninsula and Ellesmere Port, and its grants support mission projects, so a request that is clearly tied to Methodist church mission work in those areas fits its stated purpose best.
- Its annual giving totals £27,000 and no grant range is published, so keep any request modest and ask the Circuit what size of contribution it might consider.
- No application process is published, so start by contacting the Circuit through the contact given for getting in touch.
- The Circuit describes support that contributes to staffing costs and enables match funding already secured, which may give you a useful model for framing your request.
- Nothing published says how competitive its giving is or when it considers requests, so ask about timing when you make contact.
