Request Details
I have just realised that (after already requesting help for expenses) I’m going to around £100 short for my homes first rent/service charge that’s due shortly for my first month. 

The amount for my service charge/rent is £160; I currently only have the £30 you guys are going to be sending me between now and when that payment is due for me to make. 

Would you be able to give me an emergency grant for my living expenses? Something to help me make the best of a fresh start? 

I can’t be homeless again and I’m not sure what else to do. I’ve recently (as in the last week) moved into supported living to begin my transition, staying here is paramount to my transitional journey beginning. 

I have attached the costs of my living for the indefinite future. 


£100.00 GBP

Living costs payment, am I able to apply for a second one for this month, seperately from the grant I have applied for above? 

Thank you so much

I am in a big financial and personal pickle after being hospitalised then sent to a psychiatric ward for a week, before being discharged on the 23rd of May. 

I have no access to any other financial means 
£30.00 GBP

Total amount £130.00 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/
