The Human Trafficking Foundation’s Trafficking Emergency Support Fund is available to help survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery with small one-off grants to meet their immediate needs when no other sources of funding are available.
HTF is not in a position to administer the distribution and spending of the grant, and therefore works with organisations providing other forms of support and advice to survivors who apply on their behalf. We are unable to make grants directly to survivors. We ask that a support worker or supporting organisation complete the online application form, and, if granted, the funding will be transferred to the organisation’s bank account to then be administered. Please provide details of what effort has been made to secure funding from other sources.
If your client is currently receiving support under the NRM Care Contract we request that an application is first made to The Salvation Army’s Survivor Support Fund. We are not able to provide grants for needs which can be met by the Salvation Army other than in exceptional circumstances.
We do not make grants of more than £200.
The online application form and guidelines can be found here. We will do our best to respond promptly; however, we are a small organisation and cannot guarantee we will be able to make an immediate decision. In order to ensure we are able to process your request as quickly as possible, please provide as much detail as possible. If you have any questions or need assistance please contact nick@humantraffickingfoundation.org.
We are continuing to accept new applications.
