Grants

The majority of the grants that we provide are issued just prior to Christmas, to residents of the parishes aged 60 or over, and who meet our criteria. To apply, residents are required to fill in an application form which is available from mid September to mid November each year.

This financial gift is given as a cheque. Provision of this money is generated from investment or donations from various benefactors, most generously the Henry Smith Charity

Lingfield United Trust will consider the award of modest grants throughout the year to any appropriate applicant who contacts us directly or is referred to us through Social Services or local health and welfare professionals.
