Can we help your child?
In the words of one our parents-“I am glad I phoned at last, because even though it took me ages to work up the courage to dial, whatever the result, it started with the first step.”
We realise that like most parents and carers who call us, this is may be the first time you will have heard the term grant. So here is a little bit about what that means and how a grant could help you.
A grant is a small sum of money, to help bridge the gap while you get yourself back on your feet. A grant does not have to be repaid, it is simply there, to help your child, when they need it most.The grants we give, provide a wide range of support to children and young people across the UK.
What we have learnt from talking to our parents and carers, is that each individual case is different, so the support we provide can range from tutorial support for a child with special needs, to simple welfare grant for life’s essentials like clothing or bedding, when times have got a little tough.
We tend not to give more than one grant to any one family, but that is not to say we wouldn’t consider a re-application for a grant, in exceptional circumstances.
Typically we can’t give grants for childcare, but there may be some other way in which we could help you, so it is always best to just give us a call and we can talk through all your options.
We know it can be daunting but trust us, just by picking up the phone, you are taking an important step towards getting help for your child. We will always listen to and consider every parents and carers phonecall and even if we can’t help you, we will try to put you in touch with someone who could.
There are only 4 of us here in the office, so you won’t get passed from pillar to post.
Why not read how some of the other parents and carers who called us felt at the beginning of their journey, here.
