Glasspool Charity Trust has been making a meaningful difference to the lives of individuals and families facing financial difficulties since 1939.
We focus on alleviating immediate financial pressures through grants, to help people across the UK navigate challenging times with dignity and a renewed sense of hope.
Our sole grants programme the Flexible Frontline Fund was launched April 2024. It enables frontline organisations that provide whole-person support to access and distribute grant funds to their service users and clients.
The grant funding can be used for a range of household goods and services; and by offering flexibility, Glasspool and frontline organisations make a real-time impact on the lives of individuals, couples and families across the UK.
The rising cost-of-living has led to more people facing challenging circumstances and financial hardship. To be able to respond to these challenges, during 2023 we developed a new strategy which will inform all aspects of our work over the next five years.
From 27 Feb 2024 our grants programme the Essential Living Fund will close. From 1 April 2024 we will operate a new grants programme, the Flexible Frontline Fund.
If you work in the homelessness sector the St Martin’s Charity are inviting you to complete their Frontline Worker Survey 2024. This is an important survey as past responses have resulted in the establishment of a new mental health fund, a frontline worker wellbeing project and informed homelessness policy.
