Request Details
I need help with my food and contribution to bills/rent living at home with family.   Living at home is not conducive to improving my mental health due to my strained relationship with my mother and sister, though it is my best/only option as mental health related disabilities which i have had to self diagnose (BPD, cPTSD) and the ones i am diagnosed for (MDD, anxiety, autism) and being trans prevents me from acquiring a job or functioning at a high enough level to stay in one if i did receive an offer. I’m currently in the process of appealing a second rejected PIP application. I cant afford counselling right now but am trying to pursue some for free  via CMHT, unfortunately i have squandered my chances to get started with what they have offered me so far in part due to my mental health. any money you can give me will help to cover my contribution to bills at home (£140) and my food, bus/train tickets to my hospital appointments (i was given healthcare as alternative to DIY HRT which i had bought)
£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/
