Bourne United Charities is a place-based charity serving residents of Bourne and nearby parishes, with a strong mix of community grants and direct relief for individuals in financial hardship. It supports local clubs, charities, and amenity projects that improve life in the parish, while also funding household essentials and periodic payments for pensioners or low-income residents. Its distinctive role is as both a grantmaker and steward of historic local endowments, housing, and community assets.
Primarily small, local, highly place-based grants and relief payments. It offers one-off project grants typically around £1,000–£5,000, microgrants up to £250, and direct individual assistance such as white-goods contributions or recurring £40 four-weekly payments for eligible pensioners; most support is for parish residents and local organizations rather than open, competitive national funding.

For project grants, be specific about outcomes, costs, and whether you need equipment or programme support; for individual aid, be ready to provide financial evidence and proof of eligibility. Smaller requests are often best suited to the Small Grants Scheme, while household-need applications should match the Working Families Scheme or Grant Aid criteria.
