Helping people to shape their lives
The Frontline Network has launched the ‘Frontline Worker Survey 2020’, and the charity needs you to hear from you This year the COVID-19 outbreak has presented significant and fast-evolving challenges for the homelessness sector. Frontline services have been significantly impacted by staff capacity as people go into isolation and work from home, and that there has been severe consequences for the services provided on the frontline.
Thank you to everyone who has applied to us for Smallwood funding from our pilot partnership programme and for completing the survey. This pilot programme has now come to an end, no further awards can be made from our Smallwood partnership funding.
The Smallwood Trust is available for Women Only, please visit their website for more information.

Over the last four months we have been working with hundreds of support workers to address the impact of Covid-19 on individuals, couples and families. There has been almost constant change and we appreciate how difficult it has been. As the effects of Covid-19 look to continue for many weeks and months we have changed how we work.
We are able to accept new applications from 11am each Monday (then between 9am to 6pm daily). Once we have received as many applications as we can potentially fund for a week, you will not be able to submit any new applications until 11am the following Monday. This will be a Tuesday if Monday is a bank holiday.
Due to Covid-19 we are receiving significantly more applications than we can fund. This means that once we have allocated our grants budget, we will have to decline applications, even if they meet our eligibility criteria. Other funders can be found via Turn2Us’ grants search. Please apply to other funders before applying to us, to help reduce the number of applications we receive. Please only apply for people who are most in need of support. Thank you for your understanding.
Now more than ever, people are in need of support for basic household items and clothing. To enable us to help as many people as we can, we are only able to consider one request per application from Glasspool funds. If you are supporting a woman please read the Glasspool – Smallwood partnership page of this website, as further support may be available.
Please keep well,
The Team at Glasspool
