One of the team will discuss your situation with you confidentially, provide you with an application form, and explain what to expect during the application process.
You will be supported throughout the application process by a caseworker who works solely for the Chemists’ Community Fund.

On the application form, we’ll ask you for information on your personal and financial circumstances.
You are welcome to contact us at any time if you need help completing the application form.
The Chemists’ Community Fund Panel meet regularly to consider and make decisions about applications.
