If you are an IBD sufferer between 15-25 and you
have special needs relating to your full or part-time education that
have arisen as a direct result of your illness, then NACC’s Welfare
Committee may be able to provide some Educational or Vocational Support.
The main areas for which funding is available are:
 Books and other course material
Tuition Fees
Additional cost of university/college en suite accommodation
Travel passes
Computer hardware and software
Applications that fall outside of these areas will
be examined on an individual basis.
Grants will not usually exceed £300 in any one year and can be for the
whole or part of the item in question. Under normal circumstances only
three grants will be made in any five year period.
If you feel that a Young Persons’ Support grant would help you in
furthering your education or training then please complete the
Application Form and return it to:
Welfare Fund Secretary
PO Box 334
St Albans
Herts
AL1 2WA
Your application will be considered at the next Welfare Committee
meeting, which are held every 6-8 weeks.
To save time please enclose an estimate(s) for the item(s) that you
require. Please note that grants will usually paid direct to the
university, shop, travel agent, etc and not to you.
In the financial section of the grant application form you are asked to
complete details of your family’s finances if they are supporting you.
We are aware that this request may seem intrusive but we have limited
funds available and we are sure that you will understand that we need to
help those who have the greatest financial need.
Also on the form are sections that must be completed by your Doctor and
your Social Worker, Tutor, Health Visitor, District Nurse or a member of
the Citizens Advice Bureau.
The Committee will treat all applications in confidence but they reserve
the right to contact your Doctor and Social Worker (or other person) who
have supported the application.
