The RNBT makes close to 3,000 grants each year, with amounts ranging from less than £100 to over £200,000.

Individual Grants are made to cover essential costs – typically food, clothing and utility costs (for UK residents only) – but they can also assist with many other costs, including: training and education for employment, furniture and furnishings, rent arrears and rent in advance, specialist medical equipment and mobility aids (e.g. EPVs, stair-lifts and riser recliner chairs), and help towards care home top-up fees and domiciliary care costs.
