Welfare grants are awarded once a year. 

Applications can be submitted from September to December each year.  The closing date for 2010 is Friday 10 December.  All applications which meet the criteria set out by the Trust are forwarded to the Welfare Committee for consideration.  The Welfare Committee then makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees and applicants will be informed of the Trustees' decision after the next Trustees' meeting (usually in March each year).
