Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity
The Percy Bilton Charity (PBC) is offering grants to Individuals in need who are on a low income and have a serious, long-term illness/disability or are over 65 on a low income.
The aim of this programme is to provide urgent one off assistance for essential items to the beneficiaries.
Eligibility Criteria

- The Charity is not able to help individuals outside the above groups
- The Charity does not accept or acknowledge applications made directly by individuals or from any other agency
- Please do not re-apply for the same person within 12 months of any previous grant
- Applications should always be first made to statutory sources and any appropriate specialist charity (e.g. Medical charities, employment related funds, armed forces funds).

- Older People – Individuals aged over 65 on low income
- Disabled People – Children or adults with a physical/learning disability or serious long-term illness or adults with a severe and enduring mental health problem which prevents them from working
Note
- The Council or NHS Trust must have a bank account in its own name and be able to bank and administer grants for flooring on our behalf as the charity cannot make payments to any other agency and not to any individual.
- The Charity relies on those third parties who apply on their client’s behalf to notify/obtain their explicit consent so the Charity may legally process information in accordance with the Data Protection Act (see below).
- All applications are determined on their merits and the Charity’s decision is final
Terms and conditions
- The grant must be used only for the approved purpose
- The Charity reserves the right to take action against anyone who uses the grant (or any part of it) for any other purpose without the Charity’s prior authority.
