Emergency Resilience Funding for Families and Young People
Community Foundation was supporting families and young people in Birmingham who require emergency financial assistance due to Covid-19. Emergency Resilience Funding support was available to young people and families. The funding is strictly for emergencies due to Covid-19 and payments are usually made within 2 days of application.
The emergency funding is for families in hardship, for example to buy food, medicines, nappies and other supplies. Or to pay for emergency fuel, white goods or internet access.
Please contact Community Foundation by sending an email to: info@thecommunityfoundation.org.uk with your full name, contact number and why and what emergency support you need. We will contact you to take additional information needed for the emergency funding application.
