The Uganda Project 2023

You may apply for a grant at any time. Trustees will meet quarterly but procedures will exist to give approvals between meeting dates if necessary.

Applications will need to provide a clear outline of how and when the grant will be spent, are much more likely to be approved faster.

We will assess all acceptable applications on a case by case basis. Please note large grants are the exception however and most of our grant awards are under £10,000.

Your bid must align with our mission to provide relief for those in need: age, disability, ill-health, educational or financial.
