About our grants

An FTCT grant is a financial donation for children whose parent works in the UK fashion and textile industry. It is not a loan and does not have to be repaid.

Grants for children with disability or additional needs

If you are a parent raising a child with a disability or additional needs, an FTCT grant could help with specialist equipment, therapies and more.

I have worked for 1 year or more in fashion and textiles

This includes jobs in retail, manufacture, design, distribution and head office for any UK fashion, textile, soft furnishings, interiors or footwear companies.

Apply for a grant

If you're a parent working in the UK fashion and textile industry you might be eligible for a grant for your child.

Taking part in the London marathon will not only be my first event in raising money for a good cause, but it will be a new experience in running for me and I'm sure there won't be a mile that passes where I'm not thinking about the difference I will be making for FTCT.
