Grants for when a parent is ill
Fashion & Textile Children's Trust
The Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust is a small charity with a long history of providing financial support to families in the UK fashion and textile industry.
Our grants can support families where a parent or carer is suffering from long term physical or mental health conditions and income has been reduced as a result. We can help by funding essential items to support the children in the family.
Grants can support parents or carers who have been diagnosed with a physical or mental condition which has affected their ability to work in a number of ways:
- Unable to work
- Signed off sick long term
- Reduced hours
Our grants can help families in these situations when household income is limited and the family may be struggling to provide essential items the children need.
To apply for an FTCT grant, one parent must work OR have recently worked in the UK fashion and textile industry, for at least one year within the last nine years.
