• How to apply: Please contact our grants team to discuss your requirement for grant funding, establish which grant category is best suited to your project, and to receive the appropriate form. Applications must be endorsed by your Station Commander and submitted on the relevant 2026 application form. For sports grants, completed forms should be emailed to [email protected].
• Deadlines: Deadlines for completed applications for large grants: 13 February 2026, 15 May 2026, 11 September 2026. The grant year runs from 1 January to 30 September 2026. Any applications submitted after this date will not be considered.
• What they don’t fund: Items bought prior to your application submission date will not be funded as we do not support retrospective funding. Group funding does not cover Force Development (FD) or Adventurous Training (AT).

What changed: FY2023 → FY2024

Grantees that appear, disappear or move by 50%+ between the two most recent filings we have read. A grantee “dropped” may simply have received a multi-year grant earlier.

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals (listed sum 2552678 vs reference 1730781 (47.5% diff; ref=stated)). Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder and want a correction, contact us.
