Established registered charities can apply in writing for activities in West Berkshire or neighbouring counties. Grants go to Christian causes (particularly the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches), community or education facilities and support, and social and welfare support and therapy. Project grants are favoured over general running costs, and the trustees meet three times a year.
