Apply for Support

If you, a member of your family or service users of your organisation are living with the long-term effects of serious personal injury, medical negligence or due to illness (born with or acquired), you may qualify for support from Fletchers Foundation, and we’d love to hear from you.

You are eligible to apply for support if:

You or a member of your family are living with the long-term effects of serious personal injury, medical negligence, or illness.

You are a local community group, registered charity, or school working with individuals and families living with the long-term effects of serious personal injury, medical negligence, or illness.

Fletchers Foundation will consider requests for
funding towards:

Aids or equipment

Rehabilitation Therapies (physiotherapy/Hydrotherapy/SLT/OTCBT, etc)

Prosthetics

Counselling for the individual who are suffering from mental health issues because of the serious injury, medical negligence, or illness.

Group projects or events by local community group, registered charity, or school supporting those affected by serious injury, medical negligence, or illness. The project or event must be able to prove long-term impact.

We are unable to consider applications if:

The individual is eligible for any compensation award or has already received one.

The individual is financially able to support themselves, or their families can financially support them.

The individual is eligible for getting what they are asking for from the NHS (unless the NHS service or product is deemed to be unsuitable for the individual’s requirements or is not available in a suitable timeframe).

The individual doesn’t have at least one referee/guarantor for the application form. Ideally this will be someone from the individual’s health team such as physiotherapist, a local council representative such as social worker or housing or a local professional that is not family.

The local community group, registered charity, or school can financially support the event or project themselves.

The local community group, registered charity, or school has had a successful application in the last 12 months.

We will not consider applications under any circumstance if:

The grant is going to promote/involve any religious or political aspects.

The grant is going to be paid into an individual applicant’s bank account (without an invoice, receipt, or proof of purchase).

The grant will pay for the local community group, registered charity, or school’s ‘business as usual’ activity or to replace lost income.

The grant given is used by a local community group, registered charity, or school to give out grants to their service users.

How much can you apply for:

Individuals can apply up to £10,000.

Local community groups can apply up to £10,000.

Registered charities and schools will be decided on a case-by-case basis. The project or event must be in partnership, jointly branded and meet our eligibility criteria set out above.

How many times can you apply:

We will only support an individual or a project / event from a local community group, registered charity, or school once every 12 months.

Please note there isn’t a limit on how many times a local community group, registered charity, or school can signpost their services users to the foundation in a 12-month period. We will only support that individual once in a 12-month period, but there is no limit in how many individuals come from that local community group, registered charity, or school (within reason).

 

Please note

Fletchers Foundation will only donate funds within the U.K.
