Funding: 

Jill Franklin Charitable Trust

Grants are typically £500 to £1000 for:  

  • Self Help groups advice, training, and employment to support people with a mental illness or learning difficulties, and their carers (parents etc.)
  • Respite care, and holidays - grants for holidays are given where there is a large element of respite care and only to registered charities not to individuals
  • Organisations helping and supporting refugees and asylum-seekers who are coming to or are in the UK
  • The restoration (not "improvement") of churches of architectural importance.  

Applicants for a grant should write, enclosing their last annual report and accounts and a budget for the project  

The Trustees tend to look more favourably on an appeal which is simply and economically prepared.
