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:
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:
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. |
