‘Having worked in the third sector for over 25 years, The Guide to Grants for Individuals in Need has become an essential resource for me in assisting clients to access grants. We aim to make a difference to clients through our advice giving, and this can only happen with the necessary resources available such as this directory. An absolute must for all advisors.’
Anne Burke, Service Manager, East Dunbartonshire Citizens Advice
‘This 18th edition of The Guide to Grants for Individuals in Need is a vital map. It locates grant-making charities that provide much-needed resources for people in difficulty. It signposts lifeline grants for unaffordable school uniforms or to replace broken fridges and boilers. It can direct to longer-term support for people facing struggles with housing, debt, domestic violence, illness or addiction.’
Peter Grigg, Chief Executive, Home-Start UK [from the foreword 2022 edition]
‘Making the right connections can be difficult and time consuming. The Guide to Grants for Individuals in Need provides a vital resource in facilitating these connections to find the right financial help for a specific need as quickly as possible. It might seem like something small, but for someone in need, it can be life-changing.’
Dame Gillian Guy, Chief Executive, Citizens Advice [from the Foreword 2020 edition]
‘A great resource bringing together in one place, a wide range of sources of support and help. Sadly, living in poverty is a reality for many people in the UK, but there are many charities that can help make life that bit easier – as long as you know how to find them.’
Steph Harland, former CEO Age UK
‘We have used The Grants for Individuals in Need for five 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. It’s 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.’
