The Foundation administers a small grants and donations programme to individuals and families in financial need. Applications can only be made by recognised social organisations such as charities, housing associations, schools and social services acting on behalf of a family or individual in need.
Grants of up to £2,000 are available for eligible individuals and families.
They will fund:
- Household items (white goods and occasionally other items i.e. sofas, wardrobes etc.)
- Basic Living Expenses (Utilities or food)
- Work- or education-related expenses (interview clothes, school uniforms, laptops)
- Rent arrears and Council tax arrears, but only where there is a clear and obvious risk of homelessness (for rent arrears involving a social landlord please outline what support has already been offered to your tenant)
- Contribution to immigration-related costs, where the current immigration status directly causes financial hardship to the applicant
