Family Fund April 2019

[MishyMoo123]

I applied mid February for a grant from the Family Fund. (This isn’t a first time application) Has anyone applied recently and heard back? If so how long did it take? Thanks

You can ask for a few things but the maximum grant is about £500 in total. If you ask for a holiday break they will only award the holiday as that’s always £500 granted in one go.

I'm thinking of applying for my DS, does it have to be for one thing or can you ask for money towards more than one item? Ie I wanted to get him some 1-1 swimming lessons but he also needs a special swing for the garden.

Have you heard back yet OP?

Coming up 8 weeks here and nothing. My last 2 applications were really quick!

I applied at the end of feb and still nothing. It's our 3rd time applying and this has been the longest wait we've had
