The responsibility for the administration of crisis loans & community care grants transfers to first tier local authorities (eg County Councils) in April 2013. In each locality there will be a Local Welfare Scheme to assist those people that would previously have applied for a Community Care Grant from the DWP.
For details of your local welfare scheme please click here: http://www.cpag.org.uk/lwas
As a charity we are not in a position to replace statutory funding and as such we expect all applicants, where appropriate, to have made an application to the relevant Local Welfare Scheme BEFORE making an application for a grant from the Glasspool Trust.
