Our Work

General Welfare Fund

Through our General Welfare Fund, we provide small grants to families, which can help people with costs related to education and training, employment and enterprise, household items, medical and mobility, and subsistence.

We operate a flexible Grants Policy, which is designed to meet a person’s individual needs. We try not to be too prescriptive in determining what people can apply for, as we feel that applicants are best placed to recognise what they need and how it will improve their life.

Beneficiaries include children and young people, single parents, elderly people, victims of domestic violence or abuse, asylum seekers and refugees, prisoners and ex-offenders, disabled people, and low-income families.

Support workers and family members are able to apply on behalf of other people, so that potential applicants who may have language or technical barriers are not excluded from accessing support.
