Apply for a Cash for Kids Grant

Make an application for support

Radio Tay Cash for Kids is a grant-giving charity helping the children that need it most.

Our grant rounds support children from birth up to and including 18 years of age who are vulnerable, come from disadvantaged backgrounds or are living with an illness or disability. We also provide a lifeline to many other charities, organisations and community groups, funding much-needed services and life-changing equipment.

The value of a grant is typically from £1,000 to £3,000 but we will happily consider applications for larger amounts.

Please read our Eligibility Criteria, available here, before applying.
