Love Bexley: a support service for families in need of a little help
We recognise that raising kids can be a difficult task. Whether they're a new or expectant parent, or are finding raising kids a financial burden, we want to help out.
We work in partnership with Frontline Professionals in order to provide support for families who are most in need of support.
All referrals must be made by a professional (such as social worker, teacher, health visitor, refuge worker etc.) working with families who suffer from financial hardship and must be for a family (at least one adult and one child under the age of 18). WE DO NOT ACCEPT SELF REFERRALS.
there are two types of referral:
GENERAL REFERRAL : New Application form coming
The following items can be requested via our referral form for families in need, depending on their individual circumstances. Please note that all items provided are mostly ‘pre-loved’ (in excellent condition, donated by our supporters).
Please note that we are not able to carry out safety checks on items such as cots and buggies. These items are passed on in good faith, along with a Love Bexley disclaimer, and it is the responsibility of the families receiving them to check that they are suitable for use. We cannot guarantee that our donated clothes and equipment have come from smoke or pet free homes.
BEXLEY HOUSEHOLD SUPPORT FUND (BHSF): Applications open once funding received
We are pleased to let you know that we have been chosen as one of the organisations entrusted by Bexley Council to distribute Bexley’s Household Support Fund (HSF). This is a national grant funded by the Department for Work and Pensions, that has been made available to support those most in need to help with the rising cost of living. The Fund is intended to cover a wide range of low-income households in need including families with children of all ages, pensioners, unpaid carers, care leavers and disabled people. In particular, there may be those who are in need but are not eligible for other forms of government support at this time.
