Request Details
Hello.

My name is Camille Walters and Trans Aid Cymru has helped me in the past.

I am very grateful for this and would like to request a small one time grant to help me through the Xmas period.

Christmas is a difficult time for me as it is when I sadly lost my mother a few years back. As a result I have had a few days off work for my mental health and I do not get paid when I am not working. I have missed out on around £100-£150 as a result of this. I would not be able to apply for Statutory Sick Pay as it was only a few days and was not full weeks wages lost.

The money would help me maintain my bills and buy presents without falling into my overdraft.

Thank you for your consideration. I would be very grateful this could be facilitate.

I look forward to hearing from you.
£40.00 GBP

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.

For our full policy, please read the below document for full requirements when submitting for funding. https://transaid.cymru/types-of-grants/
