We know how tough things are at the moment, especially with the very large increases to the cost of living we are experiencing.
Because of this we have launched the Cost of Living Grants Programme. This programme is designed to allow us to assist people who need help in a quick and easy way with everyday essentials such as kitchen appliances, clothes, and some furniture.
Please note we cannot provide any ongoing support.
This programme is open to anyone who is eligible for our support struggling to pay for items and services they need. And you can apply online the below link. We aim to assess your application within 5 days of submission.
Apply for the Cost of Living Grant using the Lightning Reach portal.
This platform is provided by our trusted partner, Lightning Reach, a social impact start-up which uses secure technology to make the application process as quick and safe as possible for you.
