Small grants making a big difference
Our vision is of a society where everyone has the basics they need for a good life.
We are one of the few UK-wide charities providing grants support for people experiencing financial hardship, that has no restrictions on who we can help
We provide timely, small, one-off grants to individuals, couples and families for everyday items to help them cope when things get tough, equip them to manage better day-to-day and enable them to build a stronger future.
We invite applications from support agencies on behalf of the people they support, as we believe that by working with others we can provide greater support.
"When I was told Glasspool was providing me with a washing machine I couldn't believe it. It has made such a difference to me and made my life easier"

The Frontline Network has launched the ‘Frontline Worker Survey 2020’, and the charity needs you to hear from you This year the COVID-19 outbreak has presented significant and fast-evolving challenges for the homelessness sector. Frontline services have been significantly impacted by staff capacity as people go into isolation and work from home, and that there has been severe consequences for the services provided on the frontline.
Thank you to everyone who has applied to us for Smallwood funding from our pilot partnership programme and for completing the survey. This pilot programme has now come to an end, no further awards can be made from our Smallwood partnership funding.
