Registered charity number 219370, The Skelton Charity is a charitable trust empowered to make grants only to legally constituted charities established in Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
Although the Trustees enjoy complete discretion when considering applications, they are inclined to favour applications for:
- Equipment; from organisations supporting the elderly, people with disability and from youth groups
- Small specific capital projects of proven viability from community groups
The Trustees do not usually fund:
- Large building appeals
- Revenue expenditure
They do not make grants to individuals.
It is their policy to make relatively modest grants to a wide number of applicants, which tend to be in the range of £500 – £3,000 but can be, exceptionally, as high as £5,000. The total annual income at their disposal is approximately £100,000.
Follow this link below to apply online to the Skelton Charity, and to attach supporting documents (annual accounts, safeguarding policy etc.). In the case of an application from a local branch of a national charity, the local accounts should be submitted. Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services (LCVS), who are administering the grants programme, may contact applicants for additional information.
Grants to eligible charities are determined by the Trustees at an annual meeting held each summer. After the meeting applicants are notified in writing of the decision of the Trustees.
If for any reason you are unable to apply online, please email grants@lcvs.org.uk to report the problem.
Completed applications must be received by 5pm Friday 22nd May 2020.
