Method of Application:
We are concerned at the excessive amount of material now provided by applicants. This represents a significant waste of limited resources. We are therefore clarifying the guidelines for applications (there is no standard application form).

To apply for a grant, please submit ONLY the following:
A letter summarising the application, including acknowledgement of any previous grants awarded from the Trust;
A maximum of 2 sides of A4 (including photographs) summarising the project (including photographs);
A detailed budget for the project.
A maximum of 2 sides of A4 (including photographs) summarising the charity's general activities;
The most recent Accounts and Annual Report.

Please do NOT send CDs, DVDs, or any other additional information. If we require further details, we will contact the charity directly. Charities are therefore advised to send in applications with sufficient time before the June or November deadlines to allow for such enquiries.

We welcome applications that follow these guidelines and respect our wish to reduce waste.
