One of the functions available on the site allows you to make an online application to receive a grant of family grant funding. To make an application, you will need to complete the online application form which is accessible through the website.

The online form will ask you to provide us with your details. Once submitted, your application will then be accessible by TWKP so that they may consider its eligibility for funding, and it may take up to 1 week to determine the outcome based on callbacks and follow-up calls with applicants.

All applications will be discussed by TWKP, and funding will be awarded to those applicants which are considered to be most eligible. Both successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified within seven working days.

TWKP is permitted to accept applications for funding from families and individuals, or through registered social enterprise, only certain applicants will be considered for funding.

Applications will only be considered by TWKP if they are:

Submitted by persons over the age of 18 years old;

- Fixed-term project work to enrich the lives of children and governed by a specific time frame (to be no longer than six months) and the completion of agreed objectives;
- The procurement of equipment necessary to achieve said objectives;
- For an individual beneficiary provided the application is supported by a letter (on headed paper) from the beneficiary’s teacher, care worker, medical professional, occupational therapist or similar.

The average value of a grant awarded by TWKP is approximately £1,500 – £2000 per annum. Larger grants will only be considered in very limited circumstances;

If you are a rights owner (or acting on behalf of a rights owner) and believe that any User Content infringes your copyright, you must provide us with a written notice by email to info@twkp.org.uk which:

States that you are the rights owner or are authorised to act on the rights owner’s behalf;
States that you have identified User Content on our site which infringes your copyright (or infringes the copyright of a third party on whose behalf you are entitled to act) and you believe in good faith that use of the User Content in the manner complained of is not authorised by you, the rights owner’s agent, or otherwise permitted by law;
