St Martin in the Field Trust

The Diocese has once again gratefully received a grant from the above with some changes to the criteria.

"Funds should be used for tenancy support rather than family support and are for people in danger of being homeless, are currently homeless, destitute and/or vulnerable and have experience of being homeless and are attempting to establish or maintain a tenancy."

The amount of each grant varies but is on average £165 with an upper limit of £250.

The following are now outside the criteria of the fund:

• Course fees and expenses
• Holidays, respite breaks, school or church trips
• Specialised equipment (wheelchairs, stairlifts, motability schemes etc)
• Childcare expenses
• Toys, books and play equipment
• Structural or landscaping renovations
• TVs or audio equipment, and licence fees
• Medical treatments and prescription fees
• Admin charges, court fines and professional fees;
• Computer hardware or software

It is intended as a crisis fund for relief in need where time is an important consideration. The money is intended for the whole community of need, regardless of gender, ethnic group, country of origin, legal status or religion.
