Mountsorrel Relief in Need Charity
About This Funder
Mountsorrel Relief in Need Charity, operating as the Mountsorrel Community Support Fund and rooted in Mountsorrel United Charities established in 1874, is a hyper-local endowment-funded organisation dedicated to relieving poverty, hardship, and distress among Mountsorrel parish residents in Leicestershire. Its mission focuses on providing direct financial aid, essential items, and services to vulnerable individuals and households facing crises like illness, unemployment, disability, or sudden financial shocks, guided by values of compassion, confidentiality, fairness, and non-judgemental support. With governance by local trustees including parish council nominees and the benefice priest, it acts as a community-driven safety net, prioritising dignity, stability, and wellbeing through personalised, responsive interventions.
The charity funds specific hardship relief needs such as white goods, beds, furniture, carpeting, mobility aids (not covered by statutory services), hospital travel, footcare, and basic home decorating for low-income adults, families, and those with mental health challenges who have lived in Mountsorrel for at least six months. It also supports small local organisations delivering direct benefits like food aid (e.g., Your Store), debt advice (Soar Valley Community Money Advice), and crisis support (Love4Life), favouring grassroots projects over core costs unless tied to resident relief.
Eligible applicants include Mountsorrel residents (via phone/email enquiry to the coordinator, with formal applications requiring professional referral) and small local groups serving the parish; no organisational income thresholds apply, but support is strictly geographic—no funding outside Mountsorrel. Typical grants range £100–£1,000 for individuals (£200–£750 most common) and £500–£2,500 for organisations. Applications are rolling, with trustee meetings every six weeks, decisions in 2–6 weeks (urgent cases fast-tracked). Unlike broader funders, it excludes non-local or non-essential needs, distinguishing itself as a swift, tailored emergency resource embedded in village life.
