Request Details
I am a person of transgender experience who has been in long term unemployment due to mental health issues. Currently finding it hard to make ends meet as the sun I receive each month in benefits is not enough to cover my bills let alone food shopping and other everyday expenses. This need is particularly dire at the time of writing as my desktop PC which I rely on for my work search and occasional freelance opportunities as my specialism is graphic design and digital communication has died after six years and I need it to run the industry standard software to create job interview presentations, and manage my Portfolio of work for new and prospective clients, none of which can be done on a shared PC or smaller devices such as mobile or tablet. Please help me out! Even the standard £60 grant will help me out until I get my next benefit payment in two weeks time which feels far too long away.

Expense policies
We accept claims for the cost of medications, food, transport to appointments, counselling and anything related to your transition. We also support trans, nonbinary, and intersex (TIN) folk with bills and living expenses. We do not currently accept claims for money for pet expenses.
If you are applying for the first time, please provide the first half of your postcode and a link to one of your social media accounts in the "additional invoice information" box. This is to verify your identity and prevent scammers from taking money from trans people.
Please also let us know how much you need (max. £60 per month) and what you need it for (eg. bills, food, debt etc etc) in the "additional invoice information" box.
We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.
