How We Can Help
ABOUT CHARLIE’S GIFT GRANTS
We are a grant-making charity that supports children in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The children we help face challenges in life because of health issues, disability, special need, bereavement and poverty.
To help you decide whether the child/children in your care are eligible for a grant from us, we have included some details about our grant-making process.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A GRANT
Children up to the age of 17 years, whose main address is in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire or Buckinghamshire at the time of application and approval, whose lives are impacted by one or more of the following:
Financial hardship or poverty
Mental Health
Bereavement
Disability or Special Need
Life-limiting condition or serious illness
WHAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR
We consider requests for grants up to £500, which will be of clear and direct benefit to the child. Examples may include a specialized piece of equipment, sensory toys and play equipment, study support and educational items, children's bedroom furniture, end of life memory making experiences, clothing and school uniform, personal care items, bereavement counselling.
Please note: we do not provide grants for white goods (large domestic electrical items such as fridges or washing machines), general home renovations, communal household furniture, hospital/school travel costs, physiotherapy or occupational therapy.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR A GRANT
Applications for grants can be made on behalf of a child by a parent or guardian, or by a Health, Educational, Social or Welfare professional. Applicants should have direct contact, or be working with the child on a regular basis.
