SMALL GRANTS
Since the Small Grants scheme was launched the Trust has given over £42,000 to individuals, groups and carers in the UK. The purpose of these grants is to improve the quality of life for those with aphasia and their carers. To date we have given a variety of grants that have ranged from £80 to our maximum per month of £1,000.
We are seeing an increase in the number of requests for aphasia software and suspect this will continue. We are aware that if the number of requests continues to increase, we will need to start saying ‘no’ more often.
For this reason, it has been decided that, except under exceptional circumstances, we will no longer give grants to buy computers.
The diagram below shows the diversity of our small grants.
