ABOUT OUR SUPPORT
Our support must be impactful, and bring permanent, meaningful and beneficial change. If you know of an individual or a cause we could support where a donation demonstrably meets these criteria, please let us know here.
ABOUT YOUR CAUSE OR INDIVIDUAL
If your application for a cause or individual will make positive and lasting change, let us know what it is, who it will help and how. We would like to help you if we can.
WHAT YOU NEED TO SEND US
We would like as much information as possible in your application, so we are able to properly assess it. You will find all the questions in the form. We look forward to your submission. Please use the form below.
Most applications we support do not usually exceed £15k, although in exceptional circumstances we may consider a higher level of support and may match funds against funding secured from other sources.
Your application will have a much better chance of success if you can evidence the need (why the funding is needed) and the outcomes and impact on end users you expect to achieve.
We are looking to fund things that change people’s lives and don’t leave them in the same situation they were in prior to our funding. If your reserves are significant, we will take this into account in making a decision on funding.
• We do support individuals in need.
• We do not fund any form of salary or personal remuneration costs, including payments to freelancers and subcontractors.
• We do not fund any normal core running costs of an organisation. We define this as an item that is in your budget every year.
• We do not support national appeals.
• We will not support any group project that is non-inclusive and is not open to all individuals and communities irrespective of gender, race or faith. Nor we will fund the advancement of religion or religious groups unless they offer a non-religious service to the local community.
• We do not support projects that take place outside the UK.
• We do not fund projects of a political nature.
• We do not fund animal welfare projects.
We do not fund any day to day project cost expenditure or anything that will require refunding when a grant expires
It will be a requirement of funding that you must give a full report back on your project and its outcomes to our marketing team including (where appropriate) photographs for use on our website and with local media.
