ectives and Attivities
While we began to emerge from the pandemic in 2022 we continued to see its impacts throughout
2022. In particular there was a reduction in the activities of many of the organisations supported by
the charity and hence a reductions in the number of applications for grants. Three grants were paid
in 2022 as opposed to seven in 2021. The largest grant approved and paid in 2022 was for GBP
20,(￿M}.
The trustees met twice during the yearto consider a range of applications forfinancial support. Each
application is supported by a completed draft application form with various sections - e.g the
nature of the projett and what it is ho￿ will be achieved, names of Friends involved, whether
there is any co-sponsorship, whether the local community will be involved, the timescale, whether
there will be any contribution from those the project is aiming to help etc.. the merits of each
application are discussed in details and decisions made as to whether to grant any or some or all of
the amount requested and whether there will be any conditions attaching to the grant.
