About the Personal Grants Fund
If you are affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease
and live in the UK, you may apply for an individual grant from the NACC
Personal Grants Fund. You will need to show you are on a low income and have a
need arising from your IBD.
Grants do not exceed £300 for any one item and a person may only
receive one grant in a year, and usually no more than three grants in
any five year period. Applications can be for any item or need which
arises as a consequence of having Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's
Disease.
Some examples of grants:
 washing machine or dryer
refrigerator
installation of a telephone
new clothing
beds and bedding
special
education or retraining costs - see also NACC's
Educational and Vocational Support for Young Persons
a convalescent holiday.
Recurring household bills or debts cannot be
considered, and for these you should seek help from your local Social
Services or Citizens' Advice Bureau. If you have colitis and have had an
ileostomy, please refer to the Welfare Fund of the
Ileostomy and
Internal Pouch Association
How to apply
The
Application Form requires confirmation from the
your doctor that you have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease and
confirmation from a social worker, vicar, teacher or similar person who
is aware of your general circumstances.
Your name and circumstances are known only to the
members of and secretary to the NACC Personal Grants Fund Committee.
