Wisbech Crisis Fund provides financial support to people in Wisbech who need a small cash grant to help get them through a crisis. If you are struggling financially and an appliance in your home has broken, or if you can’t afford transport to visit an unwell family member, or if you have had an unexpected expense that means you are going to struggle to pay your bills, please apply.
You can spend the money in any way you choose. You don’t need to explain your circumstances or meet any other criteria. Funds are allocated to applications in the order we receive the application (unless in exceptional circumstances at the team's discretion).
We accept applications only from people living in Wisbech. You must be living in postcode areas PE14 0, PE13 1, PE13 2, and PE13 3 to apply. Wisbech Crisis Fund may consider applications in other postcode areas which may also fit into what is commonly considered the boundary of Wisbech town, such as when new houses are built or other changes to postcodes occur.
You can apply for funds of up to £100 once per six calendar months. We may have to change this amount and frequency depending on how much money we have available.
Use the "Request grant" option available from the Wisbech Crisis Fund OpenCollective page. It may ask you to make an account on OpenCollective. The process is simple:
- Fill out your personal details which are stored securely and privately. Click Next.
- Enter your request amount up to £100 and upload some proof of address in the "Upload documentation" section. This information will also be stored securely and privately. Proof of address should be a full uncropped photo of a recently dated document or letter with your name and address in our postcode area. We may ask for additional documents in order to check that you live in Wisbech.
We unfortunately must reject requests when we cannot provide the funds at the time of asking. This is to enable everyone to access the fund fairly, and to enable you to seek support elsewhere. Please feel free to put in the request again if you see we have money available.
We aim to process grant applications onto OpenCollective within 2 days. OpenCollective then pays out on Tuesdays and Fridays (excluding bank holiday weeks).
