- Individuals, except through The Trust’s own training schemes
- General or mailshot appeals
- Political organisations
- Religious organisations
- Retrospective applications
- Student bodies as opposed to universities
- Departments within a university unless the appeal gains the support of, and is channelled through, the Principal
- Expeditions, except through the auspices of recognised bodies
- Community and village halls other than those in the local area
- Pre-school groups, after-school clubs or school PTA’s other than those in the local area
