HOW TO APPLY

To give an application full consideration, The Trust needs some basic information. Your letter should cover the following:

Initial statement
This should tell us the name of your organisation, its objectives, membership numbers and a brief statement of its history and philosophy. A summary of your most recent annual audited accounts, current year's budget and any other material you feel is relevant will also assist us in making a decision.

Project description
In this section you should outline your overall plans and objectives and include a detailed budget. We need to know how much support that you seek from us, and how that funding will be used. If you have applied to other organisations for help, please tell us.

Future plans
If your project is ongoing, please outline your long-term plans, especially with regard to funding.
