In partnership with Tackling Poverty & Inequalities Aberdeenshire and Aberdeenshire Council, Progress in Dialogue is offering financial support and signposting to anyone currently living in Aberdeenshire.
The funding will be given directly to individuals and families. You don’t need to be in receipt of benefits to access the fund and you won’t be asked to prove your income, nor will a successful grant impact your present benefits entitlement.
The process is not intrusive, and Progress in Dialogue pledge to respect your dignity and privacy. The first step is to complete an online expression of interest, but if you don’t have access to the internet or would like support with the form, you can make contact directly by calling: 07762 887614.
Your application will be anonymously read by the Project Lead and Community Champion at Progress in Dialogue. Our team at Progress in Dialogue is led by people from marginalised communities; including Gypsy/Travellers, Disabled communities, BIPOC and LGBTQI+ communities. If you’re successful in your request for funding, a member of the team will then contact you to discuss payment. In partnership with Steve (our link welfare rights officer) they will ensure that you are getting all the welfare support that you are entitled to and support you to develop a personal financial plan.
Below are some examples of what you can get financial support with:
Essential Household expenses: e.g. Rent, Fuel, Wifi, Mobile data, Winter Clothing
Consumables: Food, Toiletries, COVID-19 Essentials (e.g. masks, sanitiser)
Employment support: Travel expenses, Work clothing, Digital access, Key Training
Progress in Dialogue cannot fund payments toward historical debt (e.g. rent arrears) – 07762 887614 –
