There is no application form, but you will need to supply ALL the following information as hard copy:
• A United Kingdom Registered Charity Number.
• An email address.
• A hard copy of your most recent set of accounts. If you have been running for over one year, we would expect to see a full set of accounts showing a breakdown of your annual income, expenditure and carry forward balance. If you are a new group (less than twelve months old) a recent bank statement, plus an annual budget/cashflow forecast showing estimated income and expenditure, are acceptable.
• A brief (not more than two pages) analysis of the main objectives of your organisation and any particular project for which funding is required. Please DO NOT send brochures, DVDs, books, annual reviews or any other bulky promotional material. If we need more information we will contact you.
The Trustees meet twice a year, in May and November. Applications (including ALL relevant paperwork in hard copy) need to be submitted by the middle of March or the middle of September respectively. Paperwork arriving after these dates will be kept on file for six months pending the next meeting.
