| General Information / Background |
|
|
|
The Hunt & Almshouse Charity provides one-off grant assistance to older or disabled people in need in particular designated areas.
The Charity can accept applications from adults who:
* Live in England
* Are in receipt of a State Retirement Pension or a disability benefit
* Are in receipt of a means-tested benefit (eg, Income Support, Housing Benefit)
* Live alone (not including dependent children or carers)
We make grants in three specific areas:
* Essential household items (eg, furniture, white goods)
* Computer equipment (eg, adapted systems for people with disabilities)
* Mobility equipment (eg wheelchairs, scooters, adapted vehicles)
There is no standard grant, as each person’s circumstances are different, but they rarely exceed £500 for female applicants and £100 for male applicants. This is because the majority of the Charity’s funds were left in trust for women only.
It is often not possible to cover the whole cost of a particular item. Applicants are strongly encouraged to approach other charitable funds for which they are eligible.
