Small grants making a big difference
Our vision is of a society where people in need receive sufficient support to over-come hardship.
We are one of the few national charities making grants to individuals which has no restrictions on the type of beneficiary we can support.
We provide timely, small, one-off grants to individuals and families in need of financial support for everyday items to help them set up or remain in their home; improve their well-being and in some cases we provide grants to support training to enable applicants to take up an offer of employment.
We invite applications from referral agencies on behalf of individuals as we believe that by working with others we can provide greater support.
We are pleased to announce that we have published our 2018/19 impact report.
With the closure of a large number of local authority welfare schemes, the vital safety net for many has disappeared. This leaves them in challenging situations, without access to the most basic items necessary for a safe and comfortable home life. That is why we award small one-off grants for essential household items and clothing. We make no restrictions on who we award our grants to, so long as they are legally resident in the UK.
