Apply

LCT makes grants to disadvantaged children and young people aged between 7 and 19 to enable them to participate in Christian residential events. LCT wants to work in partnership with the church regarding funding.

A simple checklist before you start the application

• Are you applying on behalf of a child or young person who isn’t related to you?
• Are you the youth group leader?
• Can you show our trustees that there is social deprivation and financial need in the family?
• Are they in the age range 7-19?
• Are they part of a church group that meets regularly?
• Are they going on a Christian residential?
• Are they going as part of a church group?
• Is there financial support from the Church?
• Is there financial support from other sources – charity, donation/ fundraising?
• Is the event at least 4 weeks away?

LCT does not normally support the full cost of an event. We recommend that you find other sources of funding. E.g. the church, local grant making trusts, activity centre or event bursary support, fundraising activities, etc.

To submit a grant application please complete the form.

The application form will enable the trustees to make an informed decision.
Please note that grants are only given to UK residents for activities in the UK.
If you are requesting support for a number of young people, all going to the same event there is no need to repeat parts 1 & 2, simply repeat part 3 as required.

Please include clear information for each applicant, giving as much evidence as possible about both their social and financial needs.

Grants are given for individuals – we do not give to general group applications.

Applications are not accepted from family members.

The information provided will only be used to assess suitability for a LCT grant.

If a grant is agreed, the payment is made after the event upon receipt of a brief report to confirm attendance and giving some feedback.

Please let us have your report within 4 weeks of the event.
