Grant application

LCT makes grants to disadvantaged children and young people aged between 7 and 19 to enable them to participate in Christian residential events. Trustees look for:

  1. a clear indication of social deprivation
  2. clear evidence of financial need
  3. where possible, a supportive Christian youth group in the home situation

The more information you can give us, particularly in these 3 areas, will help the application.

Things to know

  • If you are requesting support for a number of people all going to the same event, there is no need to repeat the whole form each time. For the second and subsequent person/people, just fill in your name, address and postcode in part 1 and then complete all of part 3.
  • The information provided will only be used to assess suitability for LCT grants(see Privacy Statement published on website).
  • Please submit the application at least 4 weeks before the event
  • 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.
  • It is the aim of the charity to give a response within four weeks of receipt of the application.
