Who Can Apply

We are only able to receive applications from a support worker, not the person requiring a grant. The support worker and their organisation must be registered with us before they are able to make an application. The individual cannot have received a grant for us in the last 3 years.

What Can Be Funded

Through our Essential Living Fund, we provide small grants for household items and essential clothing. Please go to our website for further information. You may apply for up to three items, however, we are receiving more requests than we can fund, so if we are able to help, in most cases we would only be able to meet one request. 

Items routinely offered: Baby needs (equipment and clothing), beds and bedding, clothing and school uniforms, cookers, fridges, freezers or fridge-freezers, washing machines.

Items offered in exceptional circumstances: washer-dryers or tumble-dryers (where there is a health, disability or other exceptional need); flooring (where there is a mobility, disability or safety issue, including a baby or toddler in the household), TV Licence (where there is evidence of social isolation), furniture (where it is needed for health or educational reasons).

What Can Not Be Funded

Heating oil, vocational training, computers and debts or arrears.

How To Apply

Guidance on registering and making an application can be found under the Essential Living Fund page of our website.

Key Dates

Programme runs throughout the year. We open to new applications at 11am every Monday and then close once we have received as many applications as we can fund that week. If you are unable to submit an application please try again at 11am the following Monday.
