Applications must be made on their behalf by a health professional (GP, Health Visitor etc), recognised support agency (Citizens Advice Bureau, Social Worker), or another charitable organisation – and must include a supporting letter or email.
Applications can be considered as they arise, and subject to the approval of Trustees, a decision can usually be made within one month.
