Discretionary grants are available to support the following work:

• Youth: to help disadvantaged young people, supporting youth projects through education, the arts, sport and adventurous activities.
• Disabled: to improve the quality of life of those with a mental or physical disability.
• The elderly and terminally ill: to improve the quality of life of the elderly and those receiving end of life care.
• Miscellaneous support: other social welfare projects such as those for carers, the homeless and ex-offenders.

Typically, grants of up to £5,000 are regularly made and occasional larger sums are given to charities where high impact can be achieved.
