Ordinands and their partners/spouses can access much of our offering to support them during their studies, including coaching and online insomnia therapy.
Once they become a curate and are in receipt of their first full Stipend slip - or for SSMs, their Statement of Particulars/Licence - the support they can access will expand to include Emergency grants, Wellbeing grants and other forms of financial support, where there is an area of need.
Newly ordained households will first need to be registered and verified on our system. If they are already registered and verified, they will need to update their clergy status and upload their first full Stipend slip or Statement of Particulars/Licence.
Applications for any grant must be evidenced appropriately and should not include retrospective costs. Health grants will continue as normal between ordination and the first full Stipend slip.
In the first instance, visit our handy Eligibility Checker to see what support you may be eligible for. If eligible, you can then register by following these steps.
Health grants
We may be able to help you or a member of your household living with a temporary or long-term health condition (physical or mental), from occupational therapy to dentistry costs.
If you have a Health need that isn't included on our website, don't worry - Please do get in touch, as this is not an exhaustive list.
For applications for a Health grant related to more complex medical needs, your application may be shared with our Medical Adviser, Dr Catherine Monteith.
