Small Grant Scheme

The Campbell Burns Metabolic Trust recognises that some families caring for children with metabolic conditions may experience particular challenges during the current Cost of Living crisis. We've therefore temporarily amended our Small Grant Scheme and introduced a Cost of Living Grant.

To summarise:

• Families can apply for 1 Cost of Living (CoL) Grant per month - in order to provide support to as many families as possible, we are unfortunately not able to award monthly CoL Grants to every child in a family with a metabolic condition. Instead, we will award 1 CoL 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.
• Cost of Living, 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 CoL Grant. In addition, the Food Prep Grants have been reduced to £50.

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