Buttle UK is a children’s charity that provides tailored grants for children and young people in the UK whose lives have been disrupted by crisis. Its funding is intended to help restore stability and support wellbeing and education.
It may be relevant for clergy households where a child or young person has experienced a serious crisis and needs practical help to move forward. Buttle UK says grants can help with household essentials, items for school or college, wellbeing support, and activities that help a child regain confidence and routine.
Its guidance says the fund is aimed at crisis rather than poverty alone, and prioritises cases where a recent crisis has had a significant and lasting impact. Grants can be worth up to £2,400.
What support does Buttle UK offer?
Buttle UK offers tailored grants for practical items and support that help children and young people recover from crisis and stay engaged with education.
Who is it for?
It says it funds children aged 2 to 18 living with a parent or carer, and young people aged 20 and under living independently with little family support. Children and young people must be in education or training for at least 12 hours a week, and applications must be made by a frontline professional.
