Grants application : My Application

Overview | Guidelines | My Application

The trustees will consider all applications that fall within the Trust’s Area of Activity and applications can be submitted at any time during the year.

Consideration of the majority of the appeals received is undertaken by small groups of trustees, to whom power has been delegated by the Board to make individual donations of up to £10,000. These groups of trustees meet every four months, so appeals can be dealt with expeditiously, and their decisions are reviewed and ratified at subsequent board meetings. To avoid additional administrative costs, the Trust only reverts to successful applicants on these types of grants.

The Board of trustees meets twice a year to, amongst other business, agree Large Grants (normally over £10,000). Charities considered for such grants will be notified and asked to provide various information relating to their latest Annual Accounts by completing an Accounts Summary form. Applicants will normally be informed of the trustees' decision, when successful, within four weeks of the trustees meeting.

Normally, both successful and unsuccessful applicants are required to wait a minimum of twelve months from the date of their last application before reapplying.
