More Details
Making an application for assistance
Applications for assistance can only be accepted through social workers, case managers, occupational therapists or other responsible persons holding official positions within organisations such as welfare organisations, hospitals or organisations providing support to those with a disability or health condition.
Applications can only be accepted by organisations holding DGR Item 1 status.
All applications should be directed to The Secretary, and be made on behalf of identified clients whose particular need for assistance must be specified.
A provider of last resort
Financial assistance can be made available for almost any purpose considered necessary for the applicant's health and wellbeing, but the Trust is positioned as a provider of last resort assistance.
Even then, due to the high demand for their limited resources, they help only where needs are desperate and assistance is necessary to maintain the minimum standards of safety, security, protection and comfort for the individual or family. In cases where funding for expensive items of equipment is being sought, these items are to be retained by the organisation supporting the application as part of that organisation's equipment pool.
