The Skinners’ Company Lady Neville Charity

The Skinners’ Company Lady Neville Charity was formally set up in 1978 following a bequest from Ralph Neville JP. Its aim is to provide grants that will make a clear and significant contribution to grassroots charitable organisations working in designated priority areas.

One-off grants of up to £1,000 are made to small registered charities and not-for-profit organisations. The priority areas are Disability, Local Heritage, Local Community and Performing & Visual Arts.

The Lady Neville Charity will accept applications from:
• registered charities or not-for-profit organisations based in the United Kingdom
• organisations employing less than the equivalent of four full-time paid staff, which are working in the following priority areas:
o Disability – activities are supported which provide opportunities to people of any age with physical or mental disabilities
o Local Heritage – Projects which help local groups to conserve and restore their landmarks, landscape, traditions and culture
o Local Community – Projects which are involved in improving the facilities or quality of life for people in a deprived neighbourhood
o Performing and Visual Arts – Groups involved in undertaking a particular activity in any field in this area
