The fund is currently closed while we review our work
We realise this may be hard news for some visitors – we are sorry for this disappointment.
We will share an update here as soon as we are ready.
We offer grants of up to £100 to people in the Machynlleth area who are experiencing financial hardship.
We are not here to judge why you need the funds: whether it’s for food, bills, rent, a taxi or something else, we invite you to apply for whatever amount it is you need.
How does the fund work?
This is an emergency fund for individuals. So that we can help as many people as possible, we have an upper limit of £100 for every application. We are able to give one grant per month, and up to three grants per year, per person.
How can I apply for the funds?
Use the form below to apply for any amount up to £100, whether it’s £55 to fill the cupboards, £100 to help towards your rent, or £10 for a taxi to the doctors’.
How long does it take?
We aim to process your application and make payments within a few days of your application, though please understand it can sometimes take longer, especially if we have a lot of applications.
