Grant application forms can be obtained from the Trust Administrator at the address below. Trustees meet twice a year in March and September to award grants.  Completed applications must be received by the end of February and August respectively to be considered.  Being a small trust it would like to use money where it would make the most difference – particularly in small local organisations.  Each case will be based on its merits.
