The deadline for applications to the Summer Household Support Pensioner Fund has been extended until Thursday 18 August, midnight. This is to allow more groups supporting vulnerable pensioners to apply for vital funding for food, fuel and other essential items.
The funding has been provided by the Government and is being administered by H&F Giving via Hammersmith & Fulham Council. This funding is from money left over in the Summer Household Support Fund from the share for pensioner households. These grants are to provide direct support to pensioners facing crisis or poverty. We are looking to distribute £30,000 to local Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations to support pensioner households in Hammersmith & Fulham, which otherwise might face crisis. It is to provide them with food, fuel and other essentials.
We are inviting established VCS organisations with a track record in supporting vulnerable residents in Hammersmith and Fulham to apply for a grant of between £2,000 and £30,000. With applications for amounts over £20,000, we require them to be made for a project that is being run in partnership with another VCS group in the Borough. Deadline for applications is midnight Thursday 18 August, 2022. Applications will be assessed by an adjudication panel by 25 August, 2022. We hope to inform you of the outcome of your application by 30 August, 2022.
