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.
