Overview
Talbot Village Trust runs two routes, both for registered charities including Charitable Incorporated Organisations. Its Small Grants Programme awards up to £5,000 per grant on a monthly rolling basis, with a decision usually within 5 weeks of the submission date. For larger requests it says it accepts requests for grant awards of £10,000 or more. It will not fund retrospective work - anything that has already started or been completed. The Charity Commission register records it working in the South West of England, under general charitable purposes, the prevention or relief of poverty, accommodation and housing, and disability.
