Helping people to shape their lives
Updated February 2022
Due to the high level of demand for grants through this joint programme, the last day we will be able to accept applications is 7 February. Until then we will continue to accept applications every Monday at 11am.
After 7 February, we will only be able to accept applications for our main funding programme for household items and clothing.
Our partnership with the Smallwood Trust will enable both organisations to increase our support to women, improve their well-being and support their financial resilience.
We are inviting grant applications for essential household items, and moving costs, back to work costs, emergency costs and rent/council tax arrears.
The partnership will provide small grants to pay for costs to cover basic living needs, reduced income due to redundancy or reduction in working hours, childcare, support towards rent or council tax arrears, utility costs (extra costs to be incurred due to winter) and essential household appliances, beds/bedding and clothing. Funds will be distributed through a network of community referral/applicant partners.
Please note that we cannot provide a grant if you or your client/service user has applied directly to the Smallwood Trust and has received a grant.
More information about the partnership funding criteria can be found on our Smallwood Partnership page here.
