The Charity gives grants to both
individuals and organisations: Organisations:
Grants
are made to organisations that promote the welfare of individuals and
families. The trustees intend to continue supporting the organisations that
they have supported in the past and are not planning to fund any new projects
in the near future. To save administrative costs, the trustees do not respond
to requests, unless they are considering making a donation.
Individuals:
Important Note: Direct
applications by individuals will not be considered. Applications
on behalf of individuals from invited,
local, statutory and voluntary organisations are considered. To save
administrative costs, only organisations
in these categories will receive a reply. Currently grants are made via Grants
are made on behalf of clients with the following problems - mental health,
learning difficulties, physical handicaps, low-income families, single
parents, the long-term sick - amongst other client groups. In the case of long-term difficulties, the
trustees are most likely to be sympathetic to a request if the person or
family on behalf of whom the request is being made, is able to reflect on
whether there are any changes they could make to prevent the same problems
reoccurring. In
the case of psychologically vulnerable client groups such as the mentally ill
or those with learning difficulties, the trustees would like to know whether
the client is being given support with budgeting from the statutory
services and, if relevant, whether the client is able to make plans to avert
future problems. The trustees need to know the full cost of the grant needed, or in the case of large items (over £150), the contribution that is being requested of The Three Oaks Trust. Details of the agency to which the cheque should be made payable should always be included in the application. The grants made cover such items as basic furnishings, clothing, contributions to cost of washing machines, fridges, telephone connections etc. and small grants for educational purposes.
