Can we help? - Grants information
The Trustees are empowered to make grants, at their sole discretion, for general charitable purposes to charitable and voluntary organisations for the benefit of children, young people, elderly, old people, other charities/voluntary bodies within the town of Bourne Lincolnshire.

The Trustees are unable to support applications for projects that replace actual or potential funding from any government, local government, health authority or any statutory agency. In addition they will not support any activity where this would create precedence for the removal of current funding to similar organisations.

Grants cannot be made to individuals.

It will be appreciated that any grants are made on an annual basis only. Further grant aid for ensuing years is at the sole discretion of the Trustees.
Tangible benefits
The Trustees are anxious that the Trust should provide significant and tangible benefits to fulfil the wishes and instructions of the Late Len Pick and as a result they will, within the terms of the governing Trust Deed, seek to deliver assistance to improve the quality of life, environment and well being for the general benefit of the townspeople of Bourne. Particular attention will be paid therefore to the benefits resulting from any grant. For example, how would a grant enable your organisation to develop and if so, in what manner would this benefit the local community?

The Trustees will also look for evidence that other sources of funding are being explored, in particular, they will be looking for evidence that the organisation is not purely reliant upon the Trust for total funding.
