Areas of Interest
What the Trust will & won't support

The Trustees have identified three main areas of interest, as follows:

1.
The modernisation of Methodist Church properties in order to provide improved facilities for use both by the church itself and the local community; and funding of other areas of home mission. (see below)
2.
Work with young people.
3.
Projects that demonstrate a Christian approach to the practical, educational and spiritual needs of people.

In the case of work with The Methodist Church please click here for further details

In the case of Work with young people, the Trustees work mainly with the Children and Youth Department of the Methodist Church and with The Rank Foundation, a charity established by J. Arthur (Lord) Rank, a son of the Founder. That being the case, it is seldom possible to offer support to unsolicited appeals received for that area of work.
 
In considering all other appeals, the Trustees take into account the primary objective of the Trust, which is to advance the Christian faith. After earmarking funds to support the first two areas of interest the Trustees are prepared to consider other unsolicited appeals, although resources remaining to support such appeals are limited. Unsolicited appeals are selected for consideration by the Trustees that demonstrate, in their view, a Christian approach to the practical, educational and spiritual needs of people.

The Trust does not consider appeals for overseas projects, from individuals, from LEP's or from registered charities for the benefit of named individuals.

Applications must be sent in hard copy and NOT by email.
