Due to locally reported incidents of Covid-19 we are self-isolating the Glasspool office initially for one week, from 16 to 20 March 2020.
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.
To read our 2018/19 Impact Report please visit the Reports section on our website.
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with GrantsPlus (our grants management system) which has resulted in the server going offline. We expect the problem to be resolved by Wednesday (5th February 2020) or sooner. Unfortunately, we are unable to review your applications during this period. We apologise for any inconvenience caused whilst the system is offline.
We are delighted to announce our partnership with The Newby Trust (the Trust).
From July 2019 to June 2020, we will be administering the Trust’s small grants programme (£50,000) allocating grants for individuals in need in accordance with the Trust’s criteria.
We are pleased to announce that from 4th April 2019 until further notice we will be working with AO Retail Limited, who will be fulfilling our orders for white goods. As a result of this change we must have our new consent form, which now names AO as our white goods supplier, completed to ensure we are GDPR compliant.
Registered Support Workers can download the new form via our grants management system. Support Workers requiring any assistance should call the Grants Team on 0203 141 3161 (Mon to Fri – 9:30 to 12:30).
Due to GDPR we will not be able to accept any previous version of the consent form.
