Who Can Apply

Chances for Children grants have been designed to meet the the needs of children and young people in affected families. These grants help the affected children recover from the trauma and upheaval they have experienced. They are mainly targeted at families that have been forced to leave their homes due to domestic abuse and are at the rehousing or post-housing stages. The application must be made by an organisation which is supporting the family or young person.

What Can Be Funded

The grants, of up to £2,000 per family, can include a wide range of items or services provided they will have a significant impact on the child’s wellbeing. For example, this may include essential household items such as cookers and children’s beds to meet physical needs or counselling and activities for children to meet their emotional needs.

How To Apply

Applications must be completed by an organisation which is supporting the family or young person. They should also be able to administer a grant on behalf of Buttle UK. We can accept applications from a wide variety of organisations including statutory or charitable organisations providing a health care, social care or an advice service.

Key Dates

We operate a rolling programme with no cut-off date.
