The Sacro Trust provides small grants to individuals in the process of rehabilitation. The grants are provided to give support with education, training, and work experience, with funding also awarded for basic household items and clothing where it can be evidenced that the application supports rehabilitation/employment purposes only. The Trust is unable to provide support with general clothing needs, decoration of accommodation or travel expenses.

Due to the volume of applications received, all Sacro Trust grant applications will now be assessed using a scoring system (approval criteria below) which will then provide strict guidelines to the approving committee for grants which will be accepted/rejected.

The assessment will be completed for every application received with immediate effect. Where applications are not successful the applicant will be provided with a copy of the assessment so that they can understand why the application has been unsuccessful and to provide guidance for future applications.

The current guidelines for applying to the Trust are still valid and the assessment draws out some of the key points in the guidelines.  

Please address applications and enquiries to the Trust administrator, Natalie Barker, nbarker@sacro.org.uk
