THE ALCHEMY FOUNDATION 

Our income stream has improved after Covid but not to its former levels. Our current focus is on making a lasting difference to young people, as well as supporting causes we have helped in the past. Please only apply to us if your charity meets these criteria. We know it costs you time and money and we won't be able to respond to those requests which fall outside our current guidelines. Good luck!

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,997,058 available, equivalent to 125 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
