In the charity's own words
GRANTMAKING: Grants, made at trustee discretion, go to UK charities for their work overseas. Approaches for possible funding must be made through our Google form. We support projects aimed at producing lasting change, particularly through small-scale self-help initiatives, to some of the poorest sections of society. We also have concern for the victims of violence and for the promotion of peace.
