The Victoria Convalescent Trust makes grants to pay for convalescence and periods of respite care for those who do not have the financial resources, and who have been unable to obtain assistance from the statutory services. Applications should be made in the following way.
- Applications for convalescence or respite care grants are usually made by a social worker or health care worker, but consideration can be given to requests from other sources. Application forms completed by potential beneficiaries or their friends and families will not be accepted.
- All the necessary practical arrangements for convalescence or respite care must be made by the referring agency.
- Grant applications must be made on the Trust's form giving as much information as possible.
Contact the Trust for further details, or to obtain a form.
