We at St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity work to end homelessness by providing funding, supporting frontline workers, and advocating for change. As part of this, we offer the Vicar’s Relief Fund (VRF), which awards fast emergency grants of up to £500 to help people who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. These crisis grants can be used to remove immediate barriers such as rent in advance, deposits, ID, and removal costs. If all the required information is provided, we aim to process and pay grants within 5 working days.
We’re hoping to attract small to medium-sized organisations which support people experiencing housing / homelessness issues (charities, grassroots, etc) so that our funding can reach under-represented people in local communities.
We would like to invite you to join a Zoom meeting where we can discuss our grant offer and answer any questions you might have:
