Other sources of funding

We will provide you with a financial gift on your birthday, at Christmas or other celebratory events.

If you are in your own tenancy we will provide you with a winter fuel allowance to help with the extra costs of heating your home over winter.

Some organisations help care leavers by awarding grants (which do not need to be repaid). Some grants help with university, moving into independent accommodation, financial support to help you train for example.

You can access personalised information for care leavers from the Care Advice Line or by calling 0161 413 7860.

You can also contact Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) on 0808 278 7902.

You may apply to charities and organisations for additional grant funding if you meet their criteria.

Speak to your PA about what other financial help you may be entitled to.
