Expense Details
Request Details
I have been unable to pay my rent and bills due to being out of work for some months due to a mental health breakdown (autism and psychosis). The months off went unpaid even though doctors notes were obtained due to being freelance and I am still not able to return to work at full capacity so currently living on no income other than universal credit which is not enough to cover this backlog of bills. The general assistance grant would enable me to pay some of my energy bill (which is £85.80) providing slight relief to the expenses.

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.
