Family Fund Eligibility

Just to let everyone know that as from 1st April the Family Fund will be able to accept grant applications from families with disabled young people up until their 18th birthday.  This is an exciting increase in our age eligibility because along with our more familiar family based grants we hope to try and help young people themselves at this important transition in their lives with things that will help in the move to college, training or employment.  Some of the things might include computers or some help with driving lessons for example.  

Additionally we have been able to confirm that our family earned income upper limit for eligibility will be £25,000 per annum.  This figure disregards all benefits, tax credits, bonuses and overtime.

For further information please contact us or visit the Family Fund website.
