About
The Arthur's Hill Solidarity fund aims to redistribute funds within Arthurs Hill and provides assistance to Arthur's Hill residents who are struggling financially as a result of COVID-19. We recognise that there are big differences in financial security across Arthurs Hill, Newcastle and the UK more broadly, and that some people are affected significantly more than others by the pandemic and its consequences. We also recognise that forms of support available through state services and charities can discriminate against certain groups and can be based in conditions which make it very hard for certain people to claim, or can lead to feelings of shame.
This fund can be used for anything, there is neither judgement nor is there an obligation to pay back the money. This is run in direct accordance with principles of mutual aid - “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”.
You can apply for funds of up to ÂŁ30 per application (to be reviewed depending on available funds). As there has been such high demand, for now people can apply for a grant once a month. When funds are low we'll prioritise new applications and set up a waiting list for repeat applications.Â
