As part of their work to end homelessness, St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity offers the VRF: fast emergency grants to help people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless.  

These crisis grants up to £500 can be used to remove immediate barriers such as rent in advance, deposits, ID, and removal costs. If all the required information is provided, they aim to process and pay grants within 5 working days. 

You can register for a VRF account today using your direct work email address and once approved, you can start an application via the Application Portal 

If you would like more information, please register to join the Teams webinar where they can discuss the grant offer and answer any questions you might have. Once registered, you’ll be emailed a link to join the webinar at the scheduled time.
