Shelroy Charitable Trust Fund
The Shelroy Charitable Trust Fund considers appeals on behalf of individuals who live in Norfolk who are in evidenced cases of need, typically relating to disability or health condition.
This funding might be right for you if:
- You are vulnerable on account of a disability or health condition.
-
You are seeking support for one-off costs, for example a piece of equipment to support care or mobility or essential items for a supported person moving into new unfurnished accommodation.
- You are supported by a local (Norfolk-based) voluntary organisation who can confirm your circumstances and financial need and can apply for funding on your behalf. Please note: applications by statutory bodies are not accepted for this fund.
Unfortunately, there are a few things that can’t be funded. This funding is not right for you if you are seeking financial support:
- Relating to general hardship/ low income, debt relief or repayment of loans.
- For holidays/ respite breaks.
How to apply
Appeals should be made by a local (Norfolk-based) voluntary organisation on behalf of individuals. They should outline your current circumstances and what funding is being requested for, along with any supporting evidence, such as a quotation from a supplier. These can be submitted by email to grants@norfolkfoundation.com at any time. If successful, payment will typically be made to the supporting organisation to make purchases on your behalf, or direct to a supplier. The Shelroy Charitable Trust Fund trustees meet three times a year for decision-making, usually in March, May and October.
The Fund is not intended to replace statutory services provided for vulnerable individuals. A typical grant size is around £350.
