In response to the Cost of Living Crisis first mentioned in 2023, the Vicar created a Village Comparison Fund, to which Parishioners could apply for a small, emergency grant.  Cash grants or grants to help pay off debts are not available.

  Items such as microwaves, second hand ovens, washing machines (or their repair) etc may be considered, as would other specific items without which an individual or family in need could not function.

   To be considered, please complete the application form below.  The trustees will consider based on merit and, what funds are available at the time.  Thank you.
