How do I request support from the Fund?
A step-by-step guide to how you can request support from the Chemists' Community Fund.
The first step is always to contact our team.
One of the team will discuss your situation with you confidentially, provide you with an application form, and explain what to expect during the application process.
You will be supported throughout the application process by a caseworker who works solely for the Chemists’ Community Fund.
Your caseworker will review your application in strictest confidence to make sure that we have all the necessary and relevant information from you.
On the application form, we’ll ask you for information on your personal and financial circumstances.
You are welcome to contact us at any time if you need help completing the application form.
The Chemists’ Community Fund Panel meet regularly to consider and make decisions about applications.
If your request for financial support is urgent, a decision can be made in between meetings.
In the run-up to the panel’s decision, your caseworker will also help you explore any other support and services available to help you in your specific circumstances
