The Kickstart Grants

Available all year round to support BHC residents to fund small ticket items such as uniforms, travel cards, small household goods / appliances, as well as small projects that strengthen the communities of our residents.

Low to medium cost requests can be submitted, with each application assessed on a case-by-case basis. To be successful, applicants must clearly demonstrate:
