The Skelton Charity is seeking applications for its grant programme to make grants to registered charities (including CIOs) established in Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and Merseyside, including the unitary authorities of Blackpool, Blackburn, Warrington, and Halton. nb
Although the Trustees enjoy complete discretion when considering applications, they are inclined to favor applications for:
- Equipment; from organisation’s supporting the elderly, people with disabilities and from youth groups.
- Small specific capital projects of proven viability from community groups.
- 10% towards overhead costs – considering the cost-of-living crisis, applicants can request a 10% contribution (of the total amount requested) towards overhead costs (utilities etc).
