It can direct to longer-term support for people facing struggles with housing, debt, domestic violence, illness or addiction.

We have usedThe Guide to Grants for Individuals in Needfor six years now and find it an excellent source of information and research. As an example, the guide helped us assist a veteran in crisis, as we were able to quickly identify and secure funding for furniture for his new flat. We highly recommend this DSC publication.

Dorothy Jones, Head of Fundraising, Veterans Aid

Part of our service for those affected by cancer is assisting with hardship grant applications, and this book has been immensely beneficial in that work. Its well designed and easy to read, with categories for different locations and types of beneficiaries or need, which makes it simple to navigate. Definitely recommended.

Rikki Stern, CharityAdministrator, Acheinu Cancer Support

National Energy Action is a UK charity leading in fuel poverty and offering energy efficiency advice and support to vulnerable householders. Over the last few years we have had increasing numbers of clients coming to us struggling to afford energy efficiency measures and remedial works to their homes. At the moment there are limited programmes of support for these measures and most government funded schemes require a customer contribution which our clients simply do not have. We have had to get inventive when seeking top-up funds and support for clients and have found The Guide to Grants for Individuals in Need to be a very useful resource to have in our arsenal. It has led us to benevolent funds for ex-miners, teachers, nurses, gardeners and artists to name but a few and has enabled us to help clients secure funds for heating oil top-ups, match funding for new boilers and white goods and electrical upgrades in the home so new heating systems could be fitted as well as school uniforms, bedding and even new thermal underlay and carpets.

Lesley Tudor-Snodin, Project Development Manager, National Energy Action
