Can I apply for another grant?

If we have helped your children before, you will need to wait 12 months since your last grant was awarded before you apply again.

Please also note, that we can only offer three grants in total per family. Each new application is subject to the terms and conditions of the previous grant being met and our financial criteria being met.
