Aid for the Aged in Distress Grants
Aid for the Aged in Distress (AFTAID) welcomes applications from individuals or their family and neighbours of state pensionable age (60 years old for women and 65 for men), that are UK citizens and residents, on a lower income and have minimal savings.
AFTAID aims to help older persons that are financially stretched beyond their means to the point of genuine distress.
AFTAID can provide grants for a variety of items such as:
- mobility scooters
- walk-in showers
- radiators
- Cleaning
- central heating boiler
- Video intercom
- 'blind' software for a PC.
AFTAID does not make grants for ongoing or retrospective payments, nor can they consider repayment of debt.
Referrals can also be accepted on behalf of members of the caring professions and voluntary organisations.
Applications can be made at any time. For further information, visit: http://www.aftaid.org.uk/grantapp.html
