Family Fund – grants for families living in Scotland

Family Fund provides a wide range of grants to families living in Scotland raising a disabled, or seriously ill child or young adult on a low income. Whether they need a kitchen appliance like a fridge, cooker or washing machine, clothing and bedding, sensory or play equipment, technology for their child, or a much-needed family break, Family Fund can help. Applications can be made for items that will help meet their child’s additional support needs, and make life easier. Families in Scotland can apply for a Family Fund grant every 24 months if:

• they are the main carer for a disabled or seriously ill child, aged 17 or younger;
• have been resident in Scotland for at least six months;
• have a low income from working, or benefits. For full details, please visit the Family Fund website at:
