SUMMARY:Meet the Funder - Children in Need Family Fund
DESCRIPTION:BBC Children in Need believes every child and young person deserves the opportunity to thrive and be the best they can be \nDelivered by the Family Fund Business Services team\, the Emergency Essentials programme provides items that meet a child’s most basic needs\, such as a bed to sleep in\, a cooker to provide a hot meal and other items critical to a child’s well-being. Our dedicated suppliers work hard to get grant items out quickly to families. Everything is taken care of from delivery to recycling of old appliances. \nThe programme aims to alleviate the pressures associated with furniture poverty and the wider impact on a child or young person’s wellbeing. Growing up in poverty brings additional educational and health challenges\, leading to significantly diminished life chances. \nFor any parent or carer\, knowing your child will have a safe\, comfortable night’s sleep or being able to prepare a warm meal for them and wash their clothes for school the next day\, reduces parental stress and helps build better family relationships. \nBBC Children in Need’s Emergency Essentials Programme supports children and young people facing exceptionally difficult circumstances. The programme has a growing network of referrers regularly accessing these grants for the children and young people they support. \n“The Emergency Essentials Programme is really good and quick and easy to do. For me it’s fantastic and means my time is not taken away from families or the children who need me\, the response is quick and the delivery options for the family are amazing. The online application is easy to use and the families really need the help.” (Emergency Essentials Referrer) \nGet information on the Emergency Essentials grants\, including how to register as a referrer and apply on behalf of a family in need. \nBook your free place\nBBC Children in Need Emergency Essentials Grant Programme – Information for New Referrers\, \nBBC Children in Need Emergency Essentials Programme supports children and young people facing exceptionally difficult circumstances and is delivered by Family Fund Business Services.
