General Fund changes to criteria

21st February 2022 By Alistair Rogers

Please note that Trust has agreed a couple of changes to the General Fund grant criteria.

With immediate effect.

  1. White goods grants change to up to £300 (previously up to £200). The maximum amount for all the other grants remains at £200.
  2. The clothing/footwear grant will be up to £75, regardless of age. Previously it was £50 per child and £75 per adult, note the maximum grant award remains at £200 e.g. Grant for 1 adult and 2 children = £200 (not 3 x £75). Previously using this example the grant would have been £175.
