We have a limited amount of money available, so we have to make sure funds are given to those who need it most.  To apply for help, you need to be able to show that:

• You live in Merton
• You are struggling financially

When you apply for a grant there are a few different parts to the process. You’ll be asked to fill in a form as well as answer some questions on the phone, and you’ll need a bank statement, some ID, and something with your address on to show you live in Merton. 

But don’t worry, we’ve done this plenty of times before and we’re happy to go through everything with you. If you need help, email us at welfare@wimbledonguild.co.uk.

Any Ukrainian refugees on the Friends & Family scheme who are worried about money can apply for a Ukrainian hardship grant from Merton Council. These are based on need and can be up to £200. To apply, email the Association for Polish Families at info@polishfamily.org.uk.

If you’re a host taking part in the Homes for Ukraine scheme, you can apply for an optional ‘thank you’ payment of £350 per month, for as long as the guest remains in your accommodation, up to 12 months. To apply, visit the Merton Council website.
