Clapham Relief Fund awards grants to individuals experiencing financial hardship, and to organisations helping those individuals. To qualify individuals need to live within our area of benefit and have their application supported by an agreed sponsor.

Our area of benefit comprises of the local authority wards of Clapham Park, Clapham East, Clapham Common & Abbeville, Clapham Town, Brixton Acre Lane and Stockwell West & Larkhall. Grants for individuals generally do not exceed £300, and itemised receipts are required within two months of grants being made.

If you live outside our area, or need additional help, the following options may be of interest, especially if your need is urgent:
