The Listeners Trust
Leaders: 8 Trustees
About
The Listeners Trust is a Registered Charity 267990 with its Declaration of Trust created in 1974. It exists to support Christian projects, usually on a one-off basis, and to support individuals in need who are engaged in Christian fields of work, or who are training for them. Preference is given to projects and individuals in the City of Southampton and the county of Hampshire. Donations are also made to relieve poverty but only on a basis of local referral, not in answer to unsolicited letters.
Grants are not usually made to support building appeals, or for general student support, or to appeals from large national charities. Donations are usually one-off; core funding and/or salaries are rarely considered. The pattern of grants shows £500 as average, with occasional larger sums.
The eight Trustees meet to consider applications three times per year. In 2008 they will be meeting on 25 February, 7 July and 13 October.
Applicants need to apply in writing to the Correspondent below at any time. The application should emphasise how it aligns with the funding criteria stipulated above.
