Those living in poverty face real and persistent challenges affecting all aspects of their daily lives, as well as their longer term prospects.
As part of a package of support, our small grants can help to prevent an immediate crisis from spiralling and threatening the stability of families and individuals. Even where families and individuals are tackling complex and difficult issues, a small grant can make a big difference.
By carefully targeting our grants, and working alongside a broad range of support agencies from across the UK, we help to create a safety net for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of our society.
Due to lack of funds we regret that Family Action’s welfare grants programme will be closed for the foreseeable future. Please check back here over the coming months for more details on when we expect them to re-open.
The Welfare Grant criteria will be published here.
