Timberscombe Community Fund
Do you have worries about money?
School clothes to buy… washing machine broken down…
How am I going to pay for it?
TCF was created to give short-term help to Timberscombe residents in need of financial assistance. Grant money distributed by this fund does not need to be repaid.
Our grants can cover a wide range of needs, for example transport costs for an interview, energy costs, short – term care costs after a hospital stay, unexpected loss of earnings, logs for heating, or provision of household equipment.
The fund is not designed to replace state funded organisations but might be used as a short-term fix until other organisations can be accessed.
All applications will be strictly confidential and will only be shared with the charity’s trustees, who decide on the grants.
If you, or anybody you know, are in need of financial assistance then please contact the Parish Council clerk at timberscomepcclerk@gmail.com or call the Good Neighbours number : 07391870332
