Type of project: Preference is given to appeals that will make a tangible difference to the relevant charity. The Trustees prefer to issue grants to assist in funding special projects or specific items of equipment that benefit multiple beneficiaries rather than just a few.
Location: In the UK and internationally in low- and middle-income countries
Eligibility: You must be a UK charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.

It must be at least three years since your charity last broadcast a Radio 4 or Lifeline appeal, and at least one year since any unsuccessful application.
Funding size: On average, charities raise between £5,000 and £20,000
