NW Legal Support Trust - invitation for small grant applications
2 November 2009
The North West Legal Support Trust is a newly formed grant‐making charity that aims to support charities in the North West of England. The Trust has limited funds available for distribution and is currently accepting applications for small grants in the region of £250 to £3,000.
The Trust will make grants to enable the provision of free legal advice to members of the public who would otherwise be disadvantaged, and will also support other charitable work that promotes access to justice.
The Trust will only fund not‐for‐profit activity, and will not support projects where the Trustees feel that LSC funding is suitable and practical within a reasonable time frame.
Applications should be made in writing to the trust with a full description of the project or need to be funded. Your letter should be accompanied by your constitution or other governing document, your most recent annual accounts, and an annual report if available. Applications will be considered at quarterly meetings of the Trustees.
If you have any questions contact Sarah Harris at manchester@thepsu.co.uk.
Applications should be sent to:
