Your chance to win 2 wild canoes

If you haven't already joined The Scouts Appeal to recycle mobile phones and printer cartridges, now is the best time to do it. All Scout Groups registering between June and the end of September will be entered into a draw to win one of two "Wild Things" canoes. The draw will be held in October 03.

To register with the Scouts Appeal, simply fill out the form in the most recent newsletter, go to www.scoutsappeal.com to the registration section, or call Scouts Appeal on 08451 30 20 10.

This trust is one of the few that offers no information on the criteria by which grants are decided. Consequently this trust does receive a large number of applications. The trust had a grant total of £2.7m in 2000/01 and the beneficial area is unrestricted.

Grants are considered regularly, however grants will only be made to registered charities. There is no application form, but a covering letter to the Director should be included with the latest audited report and accounts.

The covering letter should include details on:

• A description of what the charity does and what its objectives are
• An explanation of the need and purpose of the project
• How much will the project cost (this needs to be itemised)
• The size of the grant requested
• How much has already been raised and from whom. How is it planned to raise the shortfall?
• If applicable, how the running costs of the project will be met, once the project is established
• Any other documentation that is felt relevant

Telephone: 020 7408 2198

This is a small trust that will support charities working with youth. Grants range from £200 - £2,000, but most donations are for less than £500. The trust clearly states that grants for high-profile appeals seeking large sums will not be accepted.
