Resilience Grant (RGs) are primarily intended to help vulnerable applicants live as independent a life as possible in the community. They complement but do not replace our duties and responsibilities for community care. They do not replace support provided by other government or voluntary agencies.
The prime objectives of RGs are to help people -
- establish themselves within the community following a stay in an institution or care home in which they received care, or as part of a planned resettlement programme following an unsettled way of life
- remain in the community rather than enter an institution or care home in which they will receive care
- and their families facing exceptional pressures
- to care for a prisoner or young offender on release on temporary licence
As an RG is a grant, it is not repayable.
Our current timescales to process applications are 2 weeks
