Apply To The Charitable Branch
The Charitable Branch
If you are the dependant of a deceased member of the clergy, live in the Leicester Diocese and have an income of less than £25,000 per annum then you are eligible to apply for a Charitable Branch grant.
These Grants are in three parts.
A Temporary Aid Grant
This is an annual means tested grant, usually issued in December each year. The Leicester Diocese holds records of all dependants of deceased clergy and if you are eligible you should receive this grant without making a separate application. If you think you are eligible, but are not getting this grant then please contact the Diocesan Office via:
-
The Bishops Officer, A Wessel, 16 High Street, Desford, Leicester, LE9 9JF
-
racwessel@aol.com
A Relief In Need Grant
These one-off grants are available to help with the cost of unforeseen emergencies such as a replacement cooker or roof repairs.
The form should be completed by you and then signed off by your diocesan visitor, after which it can be sent to the Charity Administrators:
-
Thomas Harley's Charities ,c/o Charity Link, 20a Millstone Lane ,Leicester, LE1 5JN
Please ensure that you include appropriate quotations for the goods or services.
A Bereavement Grant
An automatic grant of £3,000 is made to clergy widows/widowers upon the death of their husband/wife.
