How Our Grants and Recognition Coins Make a Difference
Key-workers across England and Wales tirelessly contribute to our communities, often for modest pay and under challenging conditions. Our organisation is dedicated to supporting these vital individuals by offering financial assistance and recognising their efforts. Here’s how we can help those who work so hard to keep our society functioning.
Financial Assistance for Key-Workers
Our main objective is to alleviate hardship or distress among key-workers. We understand that sudden financial burdens can arise from unexpected circumstances such as illness, accidents, or family emergencies. Therefore, we offer grants to help cover unusual personal expenses that key-workers or their dependants may face.
What Expenses Are Covered?
Our grants can help with a variety of costs, including but not limited to:
- Unexpected Medical and Dental Costs: This can include treatments like physiotherapy or essential dental work that was unforeseen.
- Essential Household Needs: If a key-worker suddenly needs to replace or purchase necessary household items like washing machines, fridges, or even furniture, we can assist.
- Utility and Living Expenses: In extraordinary situations, help with utility bills can be provided.
- Educational Supplies: For families needing educational equipment such as computers and printers for home schooling or personal education.
- Home Adaptations for Special Needs: We also support modifications needed to accommodate special needs within the household.
- Support During Bereavement: Assistance with funeral expenses and bereavement counselling is available to help during these particularly tough times.
Grants can be given as direct cash payments or by supplying the needed goods directly. While there is no fixed limit to the amount one can request, typically grants up to £500 are quickly processed, with larger amounts requiring more detailed applications.
Recognition Coins: Saying Thank You
To further our support for key-workers, we offer Recognition Coins—a unique way to show appreciation for their dedication. Each coin is individually numbered and part of limited editions produced only a few times each year.
These coins are not just tokens of gratitude; they are a symbol of recognition for the invaluable services that key-workers provide every day. By purchasing a Recognition Coin, you can personally thank any key-worker who has positively impacted your life. These coins start at £5.95 and are available directly from our website.
How to Apply or Support
If you are a key-worker in need, or know someone who might need our help, please visit our website to find detailed information about our grant criteria and the application process. Every application is reviewed with care to ensure that help goes where it is most needed.
For those who wish to support our mission, consider purchasing a Recognition Coin. It’s a simple yet powerful way to recognise the hard work of key-workers everywhere.
By supporting key-workers, we not only help ease their personal burdens but also show our appreciation for their contributions to our daily lives. Whether through financial aid or a simple gesture of recognition, every bit of support makes a difference.
