INDIVIDUAL GRANTS

We provide funding for individual Quakers, attenders at Quaker Meetings, or those closely linked to Quakers who experience a whole range of mental health difficulties.

We provide funding that enables people to receive care or treatment wherever they need it. Typically these grants are up to £1,000. Grants are not paid to individuals directly.

 

To apply for a grant please click the "Apply" button at the bottom of this page. If you need any support in filling in the application form then please contact us and we'll be happy to support.

“Financially we have been so stretched so the funding has enabled me to continue accessing therapy which has really kept me going. It is difficult to know how things would've turned out had I stopped the therapy when I ran out of money. All I say is thank you and I'm glad I don't know the answer to that!”

Criteria

Your application must fulfill at least one of the following criteria:

  1. The fund will contribute to your mental wellbeing

  2. You are unable to afford the full cost of the service yourself

  3. The service you need is difficult to access or unavailable in your area.

In advance of applying you will need to have found a therapist or counsellor who is happy to work with you. 

The decision

Once you have submitted your application it will be considered by our grants panel.

The panel meets every two weeks. As soon as a decision is made you will be informed.

The money will be available as soon as you return a signed Acceptance Form.

The grant

The grant cannot be paid to the applicant directly. The grant will be paid to your therapist or counsellor when they submit an invoice for their work. If there are difficulties with this we will liaise with your therapist.
