How to apply

IMPORTANT NOTICE APRIL 2026

Due to changes in the management of the Jean Carr Trust, the Trustees have decided to pause all grant applications for the next 12 months. We understand this may cause inconvenience for prospective applicants and sincerely apologise for any disruption. This temporary measure is necessary to ensure the Trust’s sustainability, so we can continue to provide support to those who rely on us in the future.

 

How to Apply

Applicants must be sixty years of age or older; be current residents of West Sussex and be on an income of less than £18,000 per year or on benefit. Applicants who re-apply should normally allow twelve months between applications. In these circumstances, the Trust will do all it can to help but priority will be given to new applicants.
