our funding policy

---

The trustees will only consider applications from charities that are registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, and/or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and/or qualify as charities under the law of England and Wales but are not required to register with the Charity Commission. 

Grants will be made for the following funding priorities: 

(a) promoting education;            

(b) promoting the arts and music;

(c) advancing medical research   

The criteria for applications for grants are: 

1. Grants will generally only be made for proposals that support the above funding priorities. 
2. All grants awarded must be used to cover costs that are directly connected to carrying out the charitable activities that the charity trustees have agreed to fund.
3. Grants will be awarded to fund up to 100% of the cost of a proposal, but the trustees will encourage applicants to seek additional sources of funding for their proposal.
