What happens next?

The Trustees meet fortnightly. If approved, the grant will be paid directly to the service provider via internet banking. Please ensure to provide all relevant payment information. We do not pay cash or make payment directly to client. 

When deciding to agree to a grant the trustees take into account:


  • The objective. Is it realistic and within the Trust’s terms of reference?
  • Is there obvious hardship? Evidence of need?
  • Will it help someone who is working hard to help themselves?
  • Have all avenues of assistance been explored?
  • Will it have a lasting impact?
  • Would Hyman Marks approve of the distribution?
