We're here to help

Our grants can help to relieve the financial impact in difficult times. We offer one-off financial support:

  • When someone close to you dies
  • When you’re ill, experiencing poor mental health or injured
  • If your relationship breaks down
  • If you lose your job or income
  • When you suddenly have to move

We help a wide range of professions in the education sector
