Plain-English documents

Resources for applicants, partners, and curious readers.

Eight documents we publish openly: grant guidance, the application forms, partner referral notes, the most recent conservation summary, and the Remembrance Sunday order of service. Each is a small PDF — under two megabytes — and each can be requested by post if you would prefer.
