Request Details
I would like to request an emergency funds grant to help me cover the cost of boiler repair service, my boiler has a fault which has caused the boiler to shut down for safety reasons, meaning I have no hot water or heating, so I need to get it repaired by a Gas Safe registered engineer. I am a trans woman with disabilities and my sole source of income currently is Universal Credit as I am unable to work, as I have no savings my benefits are not enough to cover house emergencies. Any amount available to donate will be gratefully received , I appreciate it.

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/
