Support for Islington residents
Cloudesley provides grants for Islington residents in financial need, who are disabled or have health issues (mental or physical). Individual grants are made through two funding streams, Cloudesley Partners and the Catalyst Fund.
"The effect of these funds is transformational for our clients and is a central tenet of their moving on in their lives" - Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants
Below, residents share in their own words how receiving a Cloudesley Partner grant helped ease pressure and improve their day-to-day lives.
Islington resident, received a washing machine: "This support has been a big relief, reducing stress and improving both our finances and our day-to-day wellbeing."
Parent of a disabled child, received a specialist bed: "Finally they have comfortable bed where they can have a good rest."
Resident managing debt, received help with bankruptcy fees: "Receiving the fund to go ahead with the bankruptcy is amazing. I am hoping that finally having the weight of my debts off my shoulders is going to give me the fresh start that both myself and my children really need. The spiralling debts have definitely had a worsening effect on my already poor mental health."
