Cost of living update
Due to the current situation, the trustees are focusing their attention to urgent Cost of living related applications from ‘frontline’ service charitable organisations.
If your request is urgent and funds are needed to purchase a specific item in the very near future but is not related to Cost of living the trustees are currently considering these on a monthly basis.
The trustees will consider applications for grants which are in accordance with the stated objectives of the charity and;
- are from a registered charitable organisation based in England and Wales;
- do not include salary, people or core running costs of any kind;
- are not repeat or multi-year requests.
Exceptions to these principles are only considered in very exceptional circumstances.
