Timberscombe Community Fund (TCF)

Timberscombe Community Fund provides emergency grants for Timberscombe residents. TCF was created to give short-term help to people 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 could be used as a short-term fix until other organisations can be accessed.

Applications will be assessed quarterly, but if urgent could be processed more quickly. 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 Timberscombe Good Neighbours number: 07391870332
