It funds initiatives for public benefit within a three-mile radius of Sancton village, covering the parishes of Sancton, Newbald, South Cliffe, Goodmanham, Market Weighton and Hotham. The Small Grant Fund, for requests up to £600, is open now (funds allowing), and small grant decisions usually take about 28 days. The Main Fund (over £600, up to £8,000) closed on 30 October 2026. Projects that show their own contribution to costs, in cash, donations, loaned equipment, free use of land or buildings or volunteer time, are viewed more favourably.
