The Benevolent Society of St Patrick are offering grants to Irish people living in Greater London who are in need.
The funding is designed to relieve hardship.
Applicants who are not means–tested must demonstrate that they are otherwise on a low income.
The funds available to the Society are limited, and can only be awarded to those in most need.
It is generally expected that the applicant is unable to have their needs met from another source, such as a local welfare scheme. Payments are made directly to cover costs such as to:
• provide items of clothing and footwear
• fund Passport and birth certificate applications
• provide essential items of household equipment
• provide emergency special educational support
• provide interim living costs to individuals whose statutory entitlements have
been delayed as a result of system error
• provide short term emergency accommodation for up to three nights
• meet the cost of medical reports required to support welfare benefits claims
and challenges
• provide emergency support for winter heating costs
• support convalescence
• support moves to new accommodation
