Eligibility Criteria

It is regretted that grants can only be made to institutions or organizations who are registered Charities, Charitable Incorporated Organizations or Community Interest Companies. In no circumstances is it possible to make a grant for the benefit of an individual.
Grants will not be made to charities in receipt of funding in the previous year, except where a specific project has been awarded funding over a period of more than one year. Therefore, for a two-year grant, there will usually be one year between the final grant year and any further grant being awarded.
Only organizations with a turnover of less than £1 million will be considered for funding
