NEED A HELPING HAND?
  
The Fashion & Textile Children's Trust provides education and welfare grants to help the children of people working in the UK fashion and textile industries.
 
Since 1853, the charity has helped to support the education of those children who are most in need. This can include support for children with special talents or tutorial support or equipment for children with special educational and physical needs. The charity can also provide welfare grants – such as covering the cost of a replacement bed for a disabled child.
 
The Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust supports the children of people from all sides of the business. It doesn’t matter whether you worked in a shop, in a factory, in the head office, in a call centre or in a warehouse.

 

To be eligible for a grant your child must be aged 18 or under, you must have worked in the fashion or textile industry for at least three years and there must be a case of need.
