Apply for a Grant

Apply online for financial help

The purpose of My Shining Star grants is to help people meet the financial needs that can arise from childhood cancer or its treatment. You can apply online for a grant from My Shining Star providing that the criteria are met. Please ensure you have fully read our Grant Guidelines before making an application.

As part of the application process you will be required to upload supporting documents such as bills, receipts, bank statements, a letter from the consultant etc. Please do not start the application process until you have the required documents / photos.
Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily close our grant programme, due to high demand. Our demand has more than doubled. This means we can’t accept applications for the time being.

Please contact your Young Lives Vs Cancer social worker for more advice on support available.

We will reopen the applications as soon as we possibly can.
