We offer three different funds for people in need

Applications can only be submitted on behalf of a person OR a family in need, by a health, social care, charity professional or support worker. The organisation making an application must be directly working with each individual or family that they make an application on behalf of.

Applications to these funds are evaluated by an independent committee of trustees and grants are provided where applicants meet the criteria required. The Trustees meet every month to assess applications. The maximum value of a grant is generally no more than £500.

Applications should be submitted on or before the 15th of the month, excluding December 2024, when the deadline is the 12th, for them to be considered at the next Trustee meeting.

Trustee meetings take place on the last Friday of every month with the exception of December.

Please ensure that the financial information section is completed as accurately as possible as Trustees review this as part of their decision-making process.

We have also compiled a short video that should help you when completing your application(s). To view this click here.
