Applications are welcome from all professionals or agencies who work with children and young people, and know their circumstances – social workers, head teachers, community nurses, health visitors, etc.
Please complete our application form for ALL requests.
Borders Children’s Charity committee meets every month to consider applications. Urgent requests received between meetings can be fast-tracked to ensure children receive funding quickly.
IF YOU ARE APPLYING FOR FURNITURE OR CARPETS, PLEASE READ:
Chrysties of Hawick support BCC by providing very competitive prices and free delivery. They also assemble the items and remove any packaging that needs to go. Chrysties provides excellent quality, choice and value for money and excellent customer service. If a client decides that they wish to purchase the item from an alternative supplier and it is more expensive, they are free to do so but we will only fund to the level stated by Chrysties. If the item costs less we will pay the exact amount quoted on the application. The furniture brochure is here. For carpets and flooring please contact Chrysties direct https://www.chrysties.net
Please follow the process detailed here to apply for items in the Chrysties brochures.
Project Funding Round 1
Borders Children’s Charity aims to ease financial hardship, increase inclusion and improve resilience by enabling opportunities that focus on well-being and quality of life, building self-confidence and advancing education.
Applications for grant funding to a maximum of £5000 per project are being invited to support initiatives which are based in the Scottish Borders and would benefit wider groups of children and young people with their educational and social development and health and wellbeing. These projects should be sustainable and have a long-lasting effect.
