The Coventry and District Charitable Trust grants

Small grants from The Coventry and District Charitable Trust (charity 502819) to charities whose beneficiaries live in Coventry or Warwickshire. The grants pay for equipment or for respite holidays and visits, not running costs. There is no application form: you email the Secretary with details of your appeal and the amount you want. Trustees decide at quarterly meetings. Published limits vary: WCAVA's 2023 notice says up to £2,000, while the Charity Commission register says up to £1,500.

  • The trust's objects are medical: supporting charitable institutions concerned with the relief of sickness, and medical research and education

How to apply

  1. Email the Secretary, Jane Hampson, at jane.hampson@lapwingcommunications.co.uk with details of your appeal, including what the grant is for and the amount you are asking for
  2. Trustees consider appeals at their next quarterly meeting (March, June, September or December)
  3. If you are awarded a grant, confirm that the item has been ordered; the grant is then paid

There is no application form. A third-party directory quotes the trust as saying a paragraph about your work and why you need a grant is enough.

The trust has no website. Contact details are on the Charity Commission register.

No other documents are requested up front; confirmation of the order is needed before payment.
