Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

• How to apply: The website does not state that the funder does not accept unsolicited applications. It invites individuals, businesses, or grant-giving organisations to 'join us in supporting young people, educators and journalists' and provides a 'Donate' link, but no specific application process for grants is described.

What this funder supports

Based on the register classifications and operating areas of the grant recipients we could match to the charity register (a subset of all grantees).

What changed: FY2025 → FY2026

Grantees that appear, disappear or move by 50%+ between the two most recent filings that have counted grants (unverified reads are left out, so a filing whose grants are all unverified is skipped). 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 203009 vs reference 203009 (0.0% 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 or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].
