Small grants are available to homeless charities, poverty prevention schemes and housing associations.

Registered charities that support the prevention of homelessness, care of the homeless or constructive projects to get homeless people off the streets permanently can apply for up to £3,000.

To begin an application, organisations must request to be nominated for a grant by a local Fine & County representative. There are branches in Barnes, Richmond and Twickenham.

If the Fine & Country location agrees to nominate your charity, an application form can be downloaded and submitted. Section One of the form will need to be completed by the Fine & Country representative.

Once submitted, you should be contacted within two weeks to confirm receipt and to request any additional information required.

There are two grant periods a year: 

• Spring – applications open in March, are assessed in April and funds for successful applications are distributed in May 

• Autumn – applications open in October, are assessed in November and funds for successful applications are distributed in December.
