Additional Information
Applications are exclusively accepted on behalf of individuals or families in need and must be submitted by health, social care, charity professionals, or support workers. The applying organisation must be directly involved with each individual or family on whose behalf an application is made. Find an organisation that can refer you.
Applications for these funds undergo evaluation by an impartial committee of trustees, and grants are awarded to those meeting the specified criteria. Trustees convene monthly to review applications, with the maximum grant value typically not exceeding £500.
For consideration during the subsequent Trustee meeting, applications should be submitted by 12 pm on the 15th of each month, except for December, when the deadline is usually a week earlier.
Trustee meetings are scheduled for the last Friday of each month, except in December.
