The Goose Green Solidarity fund provides assistance to Goose Green residents who are struggling financially as a result of COVID-19. This fund can be used for anything, from buying groceries to paying for prescriptions. 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 £50 per application. If your application is approved, you will not be able to apply again for another fortnight, to ensure that we can approve expenses for as many people as possible.

You must upload proof of address, confirming that you live within Goose Green Ward. We do not ask you to upload an invoice, bill or receipt, but ask that you use the fund in good faith. If you wish to remain anonymous, please just upload the initials of your name when asked for your full name. The fund releases money every Monday evening, Wednesday evening and Thursday evening. Please take this into account when you apply for funds, as they may not be released immediately.

Be aware that when uploading your personal data into this fund, your data is covered by the privacy policy of the Open Collective, who are based in the US, and as such data protection is covered by US law rather than UK and EU data laws.
