Families facing financial hardship can receive small grants to help purchase essential household items. The grants typically range from £200 to £300 for items such as beds, cookers, and fridge-freezers. Additionally, women living in Greater London may be eligible for up to £1,500 to fund a short break or holiday. Applicants must be referred by recognised agencies and belong to priority groups, including those affected by mental health issues, domestic abuse, or old age. The programme supports individuals receiving means-tested benefits who are under exceptional pressure, and there is no deadline for applications. The initiative is delivered by the national charity Family Action through its Welfare Grants Programme. Grants to Support Families in Need (UK)
