Crisis & Community Care Grants

The Scottish Welfare Fund provides two types of grants that you don't need to pay back.

Aimed at helping people in crisis because of either:

• a disaster (like fire or flood)
• an emergency (like needing to travel to visit a sick child)

Aimed at helping people who:

• may have to go into care unless they get some support to enable them to stay at home
• are leaving any form of care (for example, hospital, care home, prison) and need help to set up their own home

This can also help households facing notable pressure with one-off items. For example, household appliances.
