Access Home from Hospital/Preventing Hospital Admission Grants

To access the grants:

• referrals must come from a health professional and must be to support remaining in or returning to the home
• grants may be up to £5,000 maximum. This is not means tested, but the funding is discretionary, so the grant can only be awarded if funding is available
• applicants may be referred for a further grant under this scheme, but the Council will not normally award more than a total of £10,000 under this scheme in any three-year period
• funding will not be provided retrospectively
