WhAT WE DO

We accept applications for grants and/or specific items or services in writing using a specifically designed Grant Application Form which can be downloaded and returned by post or electronically. We consider all applications individually and aim to respond within 48 hours.  The application can be for a specific monetary amount or for the purchase of particular products or services.

Once an application is approved, we will try to transfer funds to the applicant(s) electronically and without delay.  We try to keep bureaucracy to an absolute minimum.

We will normally only consider one off items of expense such as food, utility bills, council tax, mortgage payments, school clothing, school meals/activities and disability equipment and other costs and only where it is apparent that current income, expenses and capital are insufficient.

We will generally limit any grant to a maximum of £1000 (or an equivalent value) – other than in exceptional circumstances.
