Guide to Funding


Subsidiary to the Sunderland Guild of Help are trust funds administered in connection with the tuberculosis care committee of the Guild. The following associated charities are administered by The Guild of Help; Sunderland Queen Victoria Memorial Fund 1901 (No 233047):incorporating Sunderland and District Nursing Lying-In Fund. Sunderland Convalescent Fund (Charity No 233045). Dr John Fothersgill Trust (Charity No 233049). To ensure that funds are directed where most needed and to confirm the integrity of all applications, the administration of the Charity is undertaken by part time staff, who direct referrals to the Chairman of Trustees for decision. In cases where referrals are ambiguous, or require further investigation, a Welfare Sub-Committee of senior trustees meets when required to consider such applications. The charity is able to provide grants in excess of 90% of all applications received.

To send us an application for funding, please write to our address at Toward Road or email our support team your request. All requests are dealt with in the strictest of confidence. [Individual applications are not normally accepted by The Guild without reference from a professional body.]
