Grant Procedure

Grants

Grants are made to people of limited means who are either recovering from illness or trauma.

Grants are also made to carers.

A person / family cannot receive another grant until a three year period has elapsed.

Grants cannot be made for capital goods.

Grants cannot be paid directly to the person for whom the grant is made.

Applications

Application for a grant needs to be made on behalf of the client by a professional in the Statutory or Voluntary sector, working with the individual / family.

An Application Form needs to be printed off, completed and posted to Mrs. Wendy Robinson, The Director at 4 Kenn Road, Clevedon BS21 6EL along with a letter giving any useful additional information.

If the Director hasn’t met with the person making the referral, an appointment will be made for Wendy to come out and visit him or her at their place of work. Subsequent referrals do not normally require a visit, with any queries being dealt with by telephone.

The majority of grants are made to people living in the south west but people living further afield will be considered.

Once the required information and background has been obtained; if the application meets the Charity’s criteria and there are sufficient funds available, the Trustees will meet to decide if a grant is to be made.

The person making the referral will then be advised of the outcome by letter. A receipt requiring signature and return is enclosed with each cheque.
