Skinner's Company - Lady Neville Charity

The objective of the Lady Neville Charity is to provide grants that will make a clear and significant contribution to grassroots charitable organisations offering a diverse range of activities and interests.

One-off grants between £500 and £1,000 are available for non-recurring expenditure such as:

o equipment,
o an event, or
o a particular element of capital building works.

Registered charities and not-for-profit organisations based in the United Kingdom whose total annual income is less than £100,000 per annum are eligible to apply.

Grants will only be awarded to projects that fall under one of the Charity's priority areas:

• Local Heritage – for projects anywhere in the UK which help local groups to conserve and restore their landmarks, landscape, traditions and culture.
• Performing and Visual Arts - for groups anywhere in the UK that are involved in undertaking a particular activity in any field in this area.

The Company also has a stated preference for any charitable activity which takes place in communities where the Skinners' Company has a presence, either through its own existing work in social housing and education, or where there are historical links. Unfortunately none of these are in the South West! (The areas are o The City of London. o Camden (particularly Kings Cross). o Enfield. o Hackney. o Hounslow. o West Kent, particularly Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells.)

Completed application forms should be returned by post enclosing a copy of the applicant's most recent audited accounts and annual report.

2015 deadlines are Friday 6 March and Friday 4 September.
