Family Action’s Welfare Grants Programme provides small but vital grants to help individuals and families facing financial hardship across the UK. Grants typically range from £200–£300 and can be used for essential items such as cookers, washing machines, fridge-freezers, beds and bedding.

To be eligible, applicants must be referred by a recognised agency (such as a charity, housing association or social services) and fall into at least one of the programme’s priority groups:

  • Mental health

  • Domestic abuse

  • Older people

The programme supports people receiving means-tested benefits who are experiencing exceptional pressure or crisis. Family Action encourages organisations to sign up as referral partners to help people access timely support.

There is no application deadline.
