Please do NOT send CDs, DVDs,
or any other additional information.
If we require further
details, we will contact the
charity directly. Charities
are therefore advised to send
in applications with sufficient
time before the June or November
deadlines to allow for such
enquiries.
We welcome applications
that follow these guidelines
and respect our wish to reduce
waste.
Please send all this information
to the address listed on the
Contact
Addresses page. Please do
not send applications by either
signed-for delivery or courier
- the PO Box address does not
function satisfactorily for
either of these. To avoid
any postal delays, please ensure
applications are sent in plenty
of time.
Applications need to be submitted
only during the appropriate
year (see General
Information for exact details
of this), in time for the 1
June and 1 November deadlines.
Applications received
after 1 June may be considered
for the 1 November meeting. Applications received
after 1 November will not be
considered.
Charities that apply in June cannot apply in November of the same year, whether or not they are successful."
The strongest projects are
considered at Trustees' Meetings
in late June and late November.
Music and
the Arts and Overseas projects
will first be considered in
June 2011.
Please note that, for 2013, only Medical Research projects dealing with Cancer will be considered. Other non-research based medical work are still welcome.

Successful
applications
We appreciate that charities
like to know the outcome of
an application as quickly as
possible after the Trustees
Meetings. Due to the increasing
number of applications received,
the process of contacting both
successful and unsuccessful
charities is taking several
weeks.
Therefore, the Trust will
now publish a list of successful
applicants on the Recent
Awards after each Trustees
Meeting. Any charity not
listed here has not been successful
with a grant.
We cannot reply individually to emails enquiring about whether or not an
application has been successful. All applicants will still
be contacted by letter.
