Request Details
I have been off sick from work due to a combination of my ME and depression, and as a result have had no energy to cook or prepare meals so have had to buy more prepared food and take aways than usual and now I have no money to buy food. My gas and electric bill was higher than expected this month and will be even higher when I give the meter readings. I have recently moved to escape an abusive home environment where I was not accepted for being non binary and was not supported with my disabilities, so I exhausted all of my savings moving. I have some support from my partner but he can’t be here all of the time to help so a majority of the time I am by myself and I am struggling to keep on top of everything and my mental health is in a very poor place.

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/
