Grant Giving

The Ceredigion Association for the Blind considers requests for individual grants in cases of need. These are dealt with confidentially by using a numbering system.

Criteria for Grant-Giving

Those eligible for grant-aid are:

people with serious and uncorrectable visual impairments, of any age
those who have been referred by the Rehabilitation Officer in Ceredigion Social Services.

How to apply:

The application must be in writing
There is no application form
The application must give information on sight condition, personal circumstances, subject of application
Applications are considered at quarterly meetings of the Executive Officers
Applications must have been submitted by the date of the meeting
Successful applications are turned around within two or three days
Cheques are signed to the applicant
An acknowledgement form is issued and that, or a receipt, must be returned.

Grant-aid is given in cases of need.

The need must be related to the visual impairment and caused by it. Trustees reserve the right to decide whether they consider that the need is in fact closely related to the visual impairment.
