**From within Crawley and Croydon areas**
**of South London**
**Young people aged 13-25 years**
**In receipt of benefits and/or Pupil**

**3.2. Each request or situation will be**
**considered on its own**
**merits. Where situations have been**
**previously considered**
**(whether successful or not) any due**
**diligence undertaken to**
**reach an earlier decision will be made**| **available to the trustees. 3.3. The trustees will carry out sufficient due diligence to ensure that the request or situation meets both the charitable purposes, and the priorities for support set out in this policy. 3.4. Evidence of eligibility will be requested from applicants. This will be by way of a copy of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) awards letter or a letter of support from a health care or other professional involved in the child's care. Alternative forms of evidence may be considered, at the discretion of the trustees, where these are not available. 3.5. The trustees are content to work in partnership with other grant making bodies where funding of an entire project is beyond the scope of any single organisation. Applicant and partner due diligence 4.1. The trustees will carry out sufficient due diligence on any potential beneficiary to ensure: The identity of the beneficiary. That funds are applied in accordance with the charity’s charitable purpose; That funds are not knowingly used for: Money laundering in accordance with the operative Money Laundering regulations. Terrorist financing in accordance with the Terrorist Act 2000. Bribery in accordance with the 2010 Bribery Act. 4.2. In cases where the charity is not the only supporter of the work or project, and to protect its reputation, the trustees may choose to extend any due diligence beyond the proposed beneficiary and to include other partner supporting organisations. 4.3. The trustees will adopt a risk rated approach to due diligence. Risk factors will include the size of the grant; the geographical location in which the grant will be applied; the** **nature of the relationship between the charity and the applicant. 4.4. Grant size will be an important risk factor and the larger the grant the greater will be the likely level of due diligence undertaken. 4.5. Where the proposed beneficiary is well known to the trustees and the relationship has been long standing and well established, the amount of due diligence undertaken is likely to be reduced. 4.6. The results of any due diligence will not last indefinitely. In cases where beneficiaries are supported for a significant period, additional due diligence will be undertaken on a change of circumstances that might impact the beneficiary, or in any case after a period of three years. Administration 5.1. Grants up to the value of £100 requests may be made informally. Where specific needs or situations are known, grants may be made at the discretion of the trustees without any form of request. 5.2.

If a grant application is successful, the applicant cannot reapply until two years have passed. If a grant application is unsuccessful, the application may reapply after a 12-month period. 5.4. With the agreement of the charity and the beneficiary, grants will be provided by means of an electronic banking transfer direct to the approved therapy centre. The charity’s normal payment authorisation process will be applied to any payments.** **5.5. Where the grant is for a specified project or purpose, and in situations where that purpose does not proceed or where any grant or part thereof remains unused, unused funds must be returned. 5.6. Where formal written applications have been received, or other records maintained, these will be stored and subsequently disposed of in accordance with the charity’s policy on data protection and prevailing Data Protection legislation. Decision making 6.1. The decision of the trustees on whether to award a grant is final. 6.2.
