Are you worried about the cost of buying school uniform? Do your kids need their own bed?

If the answer is yes to either, then we want to hear from you. 

Get them the school uniform they need 

We all want our kids to do well at school and focus on their education. We can help take away the worry of buying school uniforms – all you need to do is apply to our Thrive Fund by completing our form.

Help them have a good night’s sleep with Beds for Kids

Getting a good night’s sleep is especially important for kids. It helps with their wellbeing, mental health and allows them to concentrate better at school. Having their own bed means that they have a safe, comfortable and private space to retreat to.

Maybe they’re sharing a bed or trying to sleep on unsuitable or uncomfortable furniture. Does their current bed need replacing?

Whatever your situation, we want to make sure your kids have the best start to each day after a restful night. You can apply for help with costs through our Thrive Fund – just complete our application form and we’ll be in touch. 

After we receive your application, a referral will be sent to your Neighbourhood Officer who will be in touch to arrange a tenancy experience visit, where they’ll discuss your application and any other issues you may have.
