Charitable Fund
SIL’s Trustees have set up a charitable fund, which it hopes will offer some financial help towards those things that will improve someone’s life, but that they may not be able to afford.
Who can apply?
Service Users, or someone on their behalf, can apply for money to buy a special treat – maybe a meal out with friends, a bit towards a holiday or a day out somewhere special. Or, they can apply for an item of equipment or technology which will give them more independence.
Local Volunteer Led organisations can apply for funding to help out when they need more money to ensure they can continue providing vital, charitable services.
Check the criteria below and then request an application form by calling the SIL office on 01568 616653.
