Cash for Kids Grants

Cash for Kids is a grant-giving charity that helps the children who need it most across the UK.

The charity’s grant rounds support children from birth up to and including 18 years of age who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect, or who have additional needs. It also provides a lifeline to many other charities, organisations, and community groups, funding much-needed services and life-changing equipment.

All applications must be submitted via its online system using the links provided. Local Executive Boards aim to meet several times each year to discuss applications.

Applicants are advised to check the specific Eligibility Criteria for the grant they are applying for and to review the list of exclusions for all grant types before applying.

As the charity’s ability to provide grants depends on the donations received, application forms will close when capacity is reached and may not be available for all areas at all times.

General Grants

Available to registered charities, community groups and individuals. Funds will support children and young people (up to and including 18 years old) living in our community affected by poverty, abuse, neglect or those with additional support needs.

The value of a general Cash for Kids grant is typically from £1,000 to £3,000 but we will consider applications for smaller or larger amounts.

Please read the General Grants Eligibility Criteria before applying.

Holiday Hunger

Holiday Hunger Grants are available to groups, organisations and service providers. They must support children and young people (up to and including 18 years old) that have a genuine need for support, are disadvantaged due to poverty, the increase in the cost-of-living and face food insecurity.

This funding is specifically to provide disadvantaged children and young people who have a lack of access to food AND activities in the school holidays. Projects must focus on outcomes that encourage children to eat more healthily and be more active during the school holidays.
