The Scotland programme provides grants to eligible families raising a disabled or seriously ill child, aged 0 to 17.
Grants can be used to purchase items including white goods, furniture, beds and bedding, technology, family breaks and more.
Key Criteria
Funded by the Scottish Government and administered by the charity Family Fund, families raising disabled or seriously ill children can apply for a grant that will make life easier and best support their child's needs.
Applications to the Scotland grant programme can be made every 24 months, and carers can apply if:
- they are the main carer for a disabled or seriously ill child, aged 17 or younger.
- they have been resident in Scotland for at least six months.
- they have a low income from working, or benefits.
