Our Board delegates powers to regional and country committees who make decisions of awards of £50,000 - £2 million. They are supported by local teams assessing applications locally.

We have offices in the nine English regions and in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. These work with local communities and organisations to support applications and to assess them once submitted.

Country and regional offices have individual managers who oversee the processing of applications in their particular area. They are also responsible for outreach and other activities in their country or region and take delegated decisions on small grants up to £50,000.

Decisions on applications are made by regional and country committees made up of local people recruited through open advertisement. Decisions for over £5 million are made by the board of Trustees.
