St Andrew Holborn and Stafford's Charity and Bromfield's Educational Foundation

St Andrew Holborn Charities – grants for individuals

Grants for people on low incomes who live in the St Andrew Holborn charities' area of benefit, the City of London and the south of Camden around Holborn and Bloomsbury. Most grants are for essential household items such as cookers, washing machines, beds and furniture, bedding, school uniform and clothing. There are also educational grants for computers, books and travel for those resident for two years. Goods are bought through the charities' suppliers rather than paid in cash, and the Grants Officer visits applicants at home.
