covid-19

The Campbell Burns Metabolic Trust recognises that some families caring for children with metabolic conditions may experience particular challenges during the unprecedented COVID-19 Crisis. We've therefore temporarily amended our Small Grant Scheme and introduced a Temporary COVID-19 Grant. Please download the statement from the Trust for more information (statement below). 

To summarise:

• Families can apply for 1 Temporary COVID-19 Grant per month - in order to provide support to as many families as possible, we are unfortunately not able to award monthly COVID-19 Grants to every child in a family with a metabolic condition. Instead, we will award 1 COVID-19 Grant to a family a month (families must apply every month).
• We will continue to award Food Prep, Essentials and Emergency Grants to eligible families, in line with our usual Grant Scheme. Families can apply for 2 Essentials Grants or 2 Food Prep Grants, or 1 of each, every 12 months, and an Emergency Grant whenever a need arises.
• Temporary COVID-19, Food Prep, Essentials and Emergency can be emailed to us by the medical professional counter-signing the form. The email must come from their NHS email account and should be sent to bekki@campbellstrust.co.uk This change is implemented in order to speed up sending applications to us, which may help during this challenging time.
• During this temporary change, Experience Grants will be suspended and not awarded. This will enable us to use that resource to fund the new COVID-19 Grant. 

These changes will be reviewed every month and this website will be updated with more information.
