John Beane's Charity crisis grants

Crisis grants from John Beane's Charity, a Christian charity, for families in Surrey who cannot afford essentials such as white goods, carpeting for children's bedrooms or school uniform. Every application must be sponsored by another charity or an agency such as Citizens Advice, a doctor, Surrey County Council, a local council, a Sure Start centre or a school. The charity also makes separate grants to United Reformed Church congregations for capital projects, family and youth workers and holiday clubs.
