Checklist
Please read through the following checklist BEFORE submitting an application:
- £150 is our average grant size, with £200 as the normal maximum. We may go higher for those sponsored by a mental health specialist.
- One grant per 12 month period unless there has been a significant change in the applicant’s circumstances (for example, moved home, separated, lost job, a major illness, a new baby born into very financially challenged home)
- Have you tried the Cambridgeshire Local Assistance Scheme (CLAS), especially for a cooker which they may pay to install?
- We do not help with rent, deposits, mortgage payments, catalogue or credit card debts, loans, fines or court costs
- In the General Background box please mention if bereavement, separation, domestic violence/abuse, physical or mental infirmity are relevant. If the applicant is not in work, please indicate why
- If the client is moving please tell us when and whether the address you give is the current or future one
- Please be clear where you want a cheque or store card delivered to (normally to you at the organisation address, not the client unless specifically agreed by us and the applicant has a secure letterbox)
