Leicester Children’s Aid
Leicester Children’s Aid Association makes grants to both individuals and projects in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Individuals – Grants can be made for a wide variety of needs to children and young people who are in need, hardship or distress. Applicants must live in Leicestershire or Rutland to be eligible for assistance. Due to pressure on funds help is only given once every two years unless there are exceptional circumstances. Applications should be made through Leicester Charity Link using their application form.
Projects - The Association can provide grants for charities and voluntary groups that operate in Leicestershire and Rutland and who assist children and young people that are in need, hardship or distress. Applications should be made in writing to The Clerk to the Trustees and include a copy of your most recent annual report and accounts. Applications should be forwarded to:

Every night Stacey had to sleep on the floor
Margaret has been looking after Stacey, her grandaughter, since Stacey's mum died shortly after she was born.
Margaret is doing all she can to be a mother to her grandaughter but she is disabled and finds it difficult to get about. Margaret can't work and the family survive on disability and child benefits.
Stacey's bed was broken so she was sleeping on the floor as Margaret couldn't afford to buy a new one.
So we bought a bed and bedding, just £165 made a difference.
