Family Action Welfare Grants

17/8/2018

0 Comments

 
Family Action’s Welfare Grants programme aims to help prevent an immediate crisis from spiralling and threatening the stability of families and individuals.

A broken washing machine for example would for many of us be a financial burden to replace; for a family with three children and a very low income however it may mean taking out a high-street loan and plunging further debt.

Welfare grants are an integral part of our whole family approach to finding solutions for those who need it the most. Coupled with emotional and practical support, grants help us to create a safety net for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of our society.

​In addition to living on a low income and having right of residency in the UK welfare grant applicants must fall into one or more of the following “priority areas” listed below to be eligible to apply for a grant.
Priority Areas
Grant available nationally (including London).
  • Older People:  Support to promote independence; improve the quality of life and isolation for those aged 60 and over.
  • Disability/Sickness:  Support to pay for disability aids that will benefit the applicant in their home.  Please note, we do not fund ordinary personal and household needs under this category such as cookers or clothing unless a clear case is made that they have to be specially adapted to meet the applicants needs and we may require additional information before a grants is made to support the application.
  • Mental Health:  Support for adults (over the age of 18) with a clinical diagnosis of a mental health problem.
  • Domestic Abuse:  Support for families or individuals who have recently experienced domestic abuse.

The Yapp Charitable Trust

6/8/2018

0 Comments

 
Usually up to £3,000 for up to 3 years. Registered charities (annual expenditure of less than £40,000, established for 3 years or more). No deadline specified (Trustees meet 3 times per year - decision time can be up to 5 months from submission).

The Yapp Charitable Trust make grants (running costs and salaries) to small registered charities to sustain their existing work within the following areas:
  • Elderly people.
  • Children and young people aged 5 – 25.
  • People with disabilities or mental health problems.
  • Moral welfare – people trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social, rather than medical, origin (such as addiction, relationship difficulties, abuse, offending).
  • Education and learning (with a particular interest in people who are educationally disadvantaged, whether adults or children).
Priorities (applications that don't address at least two of these are unlikely to receive a grant):
  • Work that is unattractive to the general public or unpopular with other funders.
  • Services that help to improve the lives of marginalised, disadvantaged or isolated people.
  • Applicants that can demonstrate an effective use of volunteers.
  • Charities that seek to be preventive and aim to change opinion and behaviour through raising awareness of issues, education and campaigning.
  • Applicants that can demonstrate (where feasible) an element of self-sustainability by charging subscriptions/fees to service users.

WHAT WE DO

We help the communities of the former district of Easington which is made up 20 distinct areas, most of which are former Pit villages that continue to be hugely affected by deprivation following the closure of the Pits.
​
We run a wide range of projects to help the community fight disadvantage including food parcels, telephone befriending for the socially isolated, helping people in the downward spiral of debt, supporting people to get the benefits they deserve, providing holiday activities with food, getting the disengaged engaged with the arts and more.
