Content is informational

The content of this website — including descriptions of programmes, criteria, testimonials, news articles and the resources section — is provided for information only. Nothing on this website is intended to create, and nothing does create, a legal entitlement to a grant, bursary, gift, contract, employment or any other benefit. All grant decisions are made by the trustees at their absolute discretion within the bounds of our 1979 scheme of administration.

Donations

  • Donations made via this site are governed by these terms together with our privacy notice.
  • The donate form on this site collects your intention to give. Until you have confirmed the gift by separate means (a standing-order set-up, a bank transfer, a returned receipt-email, or a cheque), no transfer of funds has taken place. We will write to you within seven days to invite you to confirm.
  • Gift Aid declarations are stored with your donor record. We will not claim Gift Aid on your behalf until HMRC has approved our Gift Aid registration; you will be notified before the first claim.
  • Refunds are made at the trustees' discretion, on written request, for donations made in error. Please write to [email protected].
