Financial assistance is available for Brent residents who have experienced a crisis, emergency and are in extreme financial hardship. This can be in form of a grant and/or loan. The grant and/or loan could help with big loss in your household income, increased household costs, or with arrears with your rent, mortgage or council tax and/or debt.

Grants are available for residents who are digitally excluded in the form of packages e.g. internet access and laptops. To access the digital support available please complete the Resident Support Fund Digital form found here (RSF Digital Grants Form).

Interest free loans are available through the Credit Union to help you with Debt consolidation e.g. credit cards.
