2. What can you apply for?
The Fund aims to assist
The Fund aims to assist individuals, families and organisations who need some financial support to assist with immediate, short term or emergency situations
We usually consider the purchase of things like clothing, bedding, furniture and other household equipment or appliances. We can also offer help with transport costs or we can help to pay bills
However, in the current crisis we will also be trying to help with essential items, or food, or topping up electricity keys, as well as large items if they are needed
3.How much can you apply for?
During this time of need
Under normal circumstances you may be able to apply for a maximum of £200 per year, but currently Trustees are awarding much smaller grants, so that as many people as possible can be helped. However, you can still apply for large items if you need them. The Trustees may approve the whole amount you have applied for, or part of it, or they may not be able to approve any of it. Also see the Other Places of Help page HERE for alternative places that may be able to help if we are unable to
4. Support Reference
You can apply with or without a Reference
You can apply without a Support Reference, but if a doctor, social worker, health visitor, teacher or other similar professional, working with you or your family, feels that you have a valid claim for help, please ask them to complete the reference.
Members of your family or friends are not suitable Referees
5. How is the grant awarded?
If your application is successful
If your application is successful, the Trustees will decide on the most appropriate way to pay for your goods or services. If you have asked for help to buy food or to top up your electricity key, you will be given a gift card to be spent at the Co-op. The Trustees do not allocate cash.
6. When is the grant awarded?
The Trustees
The Trustees meet every month in person. In addition they will often discuss your request via email so that a decision can be made as quickly as possible. You will be contacted as soon as a decision is made, so it is important to include your phone number and email address, if you have one
7. Your Application
The Trustees wish to make it clear that:
- They treat all applications with complete confidentiality
- They aim to consider all applications in a fair and considerate manner
- There is no appeal against the Trustees decision
