A Bodmin Lion presenting a cheque to East Cornwall Search & Rescue

Apply for a grant

Apply online to Bodmin Lions Club for a grant or other support for a group or person in and around Bodmin.

We can only make grants that fit our charitable aims, and we mainly help people and groups in Bodmin and the surrounding villages. Requests are considered at our monthly meeting.

Your application comes to the club by email. It takes about 15 minutes. Have the costs to hand before you start.

Prefer paper? Download the PDF form instead.

Questions marked with an asterisk must be answered.

1. Your details
Only if you are applying on behalf of a group. You will be our contact person.
2. What the money is for
We prefer to pay for tangible things (equipment rather than running costs). If our grant would cover only part of the cost, please say so.
3. Other information
Have you done any fundraising, or asked other organisations or groups for support?
Is the person or group receiving the grant insured for any equipment it buys, and for any risk of injury from the project or activity?
For example, who the insurer is and what it covers. If you answered no, please explain.
Will any equipment bought with the grant be owned by, and remain the property of, the person or group it is for?
Do you know of any personal connection with any of our trustees? If not, leave this blank.
4. Payment, data protection and agreement

Payment. If your application succeeds, we will usually ask you to accept our grant conditions in writing before we pay by cheque or bank transfer. If the conditions aren't met, the grant must be returned to the club.

Your information. We use what you tell us only to consider your application. We may share it with people or organisations our trustees think appropriate for that purpose. If you give us details about anyone else, you must have their permission. See our privacy page.
