H&F Giving – Funding for Pensioner Groups only!

Hammersmith & Fulham Council and H&F Giving have launched the Summer Household Support Pensioner Fund.  This funding is from money left over in the Summer Household Support Fund from the share for pensioner households.  An application process for this unallocated £30,000 has been launched.  These grants are to provide direct support to pensioners facing crisis or poverty. The funding has been provided by the Government and is being administered by H&F Giving.

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 Friday 12 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.

Application details are here  Summer Household Support Fund – Pension Households – H&F Giving (hfgiving.org.uk)
