Request Details
I am requesting a grant for help towards rent and essentials, I have been in my overdraft for 3 months and I have just lost my job. I had my top surgery in December and not being able to work has set me back with all of my bills etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am 2 months behind on my rent, I live with a friend’s parent so she has been lenient with me but I pay her £250 a month, I can upload screenshots of these payments as I transfer the money straight to her bank account every month.

Expense policies
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.
