APPLICATION FORM

This will be dependent on the type of application you are submitting.

If you are applying for funding or on behalf of a church or organisation, the application form will detail what supporting documents you should provide.

All applicants are asked to attach a covering letter with their submission. They can provide further information by emailing clerk@wgstrust.org wherever necessary.

For the purposes of bandwidth and keeping our site running smoothly, we can currently only accept a single file as an attachment to applications.

If you have multiple documents to submit, please consider submitting them together in a single ‘Zip’ file or, if you are unable to do this, email any additional files and supporting material to clerk@wgstrust.org, citing your full name and application details.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a set timescale for how long it will take for an application to be considered and decided upon. This is because all applications have to be considered and approved by all Trustees, which can be a time-consuming process, particularly when considering multiple applicants at once. 

Our Board of Trustees meets bi-annually, which is where many finalised decisions on funding take place, but there are occasions where applications can be considered sooner than this.

Providing they fall within the Trust’s mission and objectives (see below), all applications submitted will be considered. 

Please note that due to the high volume of applications received, and limited funds we have available for donations and distribution, we cannot guarantee that any single application will be successful, and we unfortunately cannot approve all applications.

The four Objects of the Winifred Gandine-Stanton Trust, as set out in its Trust Deed, are as follows:

* The promotion of Spiritualism in accordance with the Seven Principles

* The promotion of Psychic Studies and Sciences

* The promotion of Spiritual Healing

* Provide support and benevolence to Spiritualists who may be in need

Should you need to amend, update or retract your application, please email clerk@wgstrust.org, providing as much information pertaining to your application as possible.

This will be dependent on the nature and purpose of the application.

For repairs, goods, services and contracted work, the Trust will usually arrange direct payment to the vendor or service provider.

For benevolence and other types of funding, payment may be made direct to the recipient by way of a cheque.

The Trust will confirm how payment will be processed when you are contacted regarding the outcome of your application.

Yes, though we kindly ask that if your application is unsuccessful that you do not repeat an application for the same reason/cause/funding.
