We currently only award grants to charities working in the fields of the Arts, Drugs, Welfare, Medicine and the Environment.  We particularly welcome applications from organisations based in Merseyside.

We will also consider applications from national charities working in these fields, but priority will be given to those with specific projects in Merseyside and the surrounding region.  Likewise, in exceptional circumstances, we will consider applications from organisations working internationally in the same areas of activity.

The minimum grant size is £1,000 and most grants are between £1,000 and £2,000 in value.  Last year grants were awarded to 27 charities, totalling £40,000.

Grants will be made only to registered charities – awards will not be made to individuals.

Please do not apply unless your application conforms to the above criteria, as rejection will only cause disappointment and we know that your time is precious.
