The Heworth Moor House Trust
The Heworth Moor House Trust is the successor to the Mother and Baby Home at Heworth Moor House in York. For many years it has helped single mothers, of all denominations, with support during pregnancy and after childbirth. With the closure of the Home, the Trust's funds are now used to support parents, carers, and children in need.
Aims:
The Heworth Moor House Trust aims to help persons who live within the Diocese of York, who are in need, hardship and distress as a result of pregnancy and their children.
This means that the Trust offers grants up to £250 to help eligible individuals to buy clothing, bedding, buggies, washing machines, tumble dryers, essentials for a baby or household items. The Trust cannot help with debts or give loans.
How to apply for a grant:
To qualify you must live within the Diocese of York and be the carer of a baby or young child.
