In the charity's own words
Main focus: charities in the East of England, and most particularly Norfolk, or national charities undertaking projects in the region. Medical and educational causes. The Trustees meet annually in January to consider donations. Preference, therefore, is for applications to be made between October and December so that projects or activities are still current when considered in January.
