The Metcalfe Smith Trust
We make grants to individuals where the grant will make a significant difference to the recipient. Trustees meet twice a year in May and October in order to look at Full Grant Applications.
Unfortunately we have been adversely hit by the Pandemic and Trustees have less funds than usual to distribute. Full grants are usually between £200 and £2000. Trustees are keen to continue helping as many people as possible and are currently favouring smaller grants.
Emergency Grants are made monthly on a first come first served basis.
We will not commit to making recurrent grants.
