Good news! Helping Hands grants are available for another year from 1 April 2024. The Fund is there to support you if you are experiencing financial hardship or an unexpected expense where you can apply for a one-off grant of up to £300.

You can apply for one grant per financial year, so if you have received an award in previous years you may be able to apply, please speak to your scheme manager.

Applying is easy with your scheme manager (or the buddy manager if your manager is away), they will help you complete an online application form. There are some eligibility requirements such as if you are in arrears with your rent or service charge account, you will need to set up and keep to a formal repayment plan. 

Please speak with your scheme manager for more details on the Helping Hands Fund, eligibility and how to apply.

If you are unable to contact your scheme manager, you can email HelpingHands@housing21.org.uk for more information.
