The Welcome Fund aims to raise money to offer financial support to refugees in Cornwall.
Organisations can apply for funds between £500 – £2,000 for:
- Activities and support services
- Community integration
- Provision of essential items for individual refugees
Where grants are for essential items for individuals or families we ask that no more than £250 is made available to any one individual/family. These can be distributed as an onward payment to the individual or through:
- Purchases on behalf of the individual
- Providing supplies such as food, clothing, practical items
- Purchasing alternative vouchers or gift card
