They also state that “It should be understood that the great majority of proposals are unsuccessful. The trustees wish to discourage charities from wasting time and resources on applications that fall outside the trusts’ remit.”
St Swithun’s Church, Long Bennington, has been awarded a £159,700 Heritage Lottery Fund Grant towards a £252,888 Project to repair areas of the Grade 1 listed building, which is currently on the Heritage England ‘At Risk’ register. The Project currently has a circa £30,000 funding shortfall and thus the Parochial Church Council’s Project Team is seeking small grants to fill this vacuum. The Team would like to apply to you for a circa £5,000 Grant, could you please forward an application form?
My phone number, should you wish to speak is 01400 282471.
Kind Regards,
Phil Owen. St Swithun’s Church Project Team.
