Grant Overview

The fund is open exclusively to Ukrainian refugees, and only first-time applicants are eligible to apply.

 
Refugees who have arrived in Lincolnshire may need support as they transition from living with a host to moving into independent housing. Additionally, newly arriving refugees may require assistance to help them adjust to their new environment. 

Grants of up to £150 for individuals and £300 for families are available to cover essential items, but these are not provided as cash grants.

If approved, Foundation staff may source and arrange delivery of the items directly from the supplier. Items may include essential household appliances for setting up a new home, kitchen equipment to prepare familiar dishes, or bicycles (with helmet and lock) to help with commuting to work or school.

Applicants must:

  • Read and understand the guidelines thoroughly.
  • Be a displaced person or family from Ukraine who has sought refuge in Lincolnshire.

Please note:

  • Grants cover items only, with no cash payments available.
  • Additional checks may apply.

Cavan and Hayley are excited that the Foundation has again been trusted to distribute substantial funding as part of the GRASSroots Scheme. The impact felt through previous iterations of the GRASSroots Programme has been immense and we look forward to working with East Lindsey District Council and grassroots level organisations in East Lindsey through the East Lindsey Investment Fund GRASSroots Scheme to support community-led initiatives which will propel East Lindsey forward in line with the priorities of the East Lindsey Investment Fund.
