LORD LEVERHULME'S CHARITABLE TRUST 

Priority is given to applications from Cheshire, Merseyside and South Lancashire and the charities supported by the settlor in his lifetime. Other charities who do not meet those criteria should not appy without prior invitation but should, on a single sheet, state briefly their aims and apply fully only on being asked to do so.
