This year's Budget saw the announcement of a £16.7m Hardship Fund for the sector, building on the £42.5m Real Help for Communities action plan. The Hardship Fund will provide grant support to third sector organisations in England delivering front-line services to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in society that have been affected by the recession.
Grants of between £50,000 and £250,000 will be available to organisations with a turnover of at least £200,000 that are in financial hardship which is impacting on their ability to deliver services in the following areas:
- Health and Social Care
- Housing Support
- Education and Training
- Information, Advice and Guidance
More information about the delivery partner, when the Hardship Fund will open for applications and how to apply will be available on this website shortly.
