Main Grants Programme

The trust can make grants from £10,001 to £300,000 in England, (or £10,001 to £100,000 in Scotland and Wales), to voluntary, community and statutory organisations (NB. Statutory organisations can only apply for grants over £30,000).

Awards can be for capital or revenue for up to 3 years or to the end of the funding programme. Different timescales apply in different countries and our regional offices can give you details.

The application and assessment process involves a telephone interview or site visit and we aim to get a decision within 23 weeks of a complete application being received.

All awards are reviewed annually and continued funding is subject to the terms and conditions of the grants being met. Applicants are expected to plan and prepare for the continuation of the project beyond the period of the grant.
