In exceptional circumstances consideration will be given to applications from other types of organisations. We fund all sizes of UK-registered charities. We also welcome applications that come from groups of UK-registered charities that can show how working together will improve the effectiveness of their work. For work in Africa or the other countries, we will only consider applications from UK registered charities that are working in partnership with agencies located in the relevant country.
