Our assistance grants are available to support families with a child diagnosed with cancer or a brain tumour in Norfolk & Suffolk.
Our assistance grants are available to families that meet the following criteria:
- The child and their immediate family must live in Norfolk or Suffolk
- Our grants are for children aged between birth and the day before their 18th birthday
- The child must have the diagnosis of a childhood cancer or brain tumour, or be under investigation for either of these.
There are two grants currently available:
- Assistance Grant – up to £500 – available immediately to all families that meet the above criteria. Discretionary follow up grants may be available in cases of additional hardship.
- Palliative Assistance Grant – £1000 – a one off grant for families where the child has been placed on to palliative rather than curative treatment
The online application form is short but you will need to provide a photo or scan of the following items to verify the information you provide:
- A hospital letter confirming the diagnosis (if possible) and containing the name and address of the child
- A copy of another letter, or driving licence, containing the name and address of the parent above
There is an option to take and send a photo of the documents using your phone’s camera, or you can upload a photo you have already taken. You can also upload common files such as PDF.
Please email info@finnbarsforce if you need any further information or assistance.
