Request Details
I need help with food and general expenses. My cat has had to have dental work this month on top of having to be treated for an infection and because this issue was diagnosed when I adopted her she cannot be insured, so I’ve had to pay over £300 this month. Because I can’t drive I’ve also had to get Ubers to the vet and back. 

I am going back to part time work after being off sick with my mental health for the last 3 months, and cannot put any more expenses on my credit card as I won’t have to money to clear it. I know when I get paid in 2 weeks time I will just about clear the credit card and my bills but not much else. 

I’ve been paying for private counselling which I’m now having to end as I cannot afford it. 

I’ve made a new application for universal credit but the first payment won’t be until January and won’t be the full amount as I’m moving from a full time job to part time. 
£60.00 GBP

Total amount £60.00 GBP

Expense policies
We accept claims for the cost of medications, food, transport to appointments, counselling and anything related to your transition. We also support trans, nonbinary, and intersex (TIN) folk with bills and living expenses. We do not currently accept claims for money for pet expenses.

If you are applying for the first time, please provide the first half of your postcode and a link to one of your social media accounts in the "additional invoice information" box. This is to verify your identity and prevent scammers from taking money from trans people. 

Please also let us know how much you need (max. £60 per month) and what you need it for (eg. bills, food, debt etc etc) in the "additional invoice information" box.

We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.

For our full policy, please read the below document for full requirements when submitting for funding. https://transaid.cymru/types-of-grants/
