Our grants
Delivering what’s important in childhood.
Our grants exist for one reason: to make sure children and young people have access to things that we know are important to childhood.
Our grants go directly to the child or young person and are shaped around their unique needs. Whether they’re dealing with crisis, instability, trauma or multiple disadvantages, our grants step in early, preventing things from getting worse and helping them move forward with confidence. We believe Buttle is the best children’s charity to deliver what’s important in childhood, just when they need it most.
A Buttle grant can cover the items and experiences most children in the UK take for granted, but which many families simply cannot afford, such as:
- a bed
- a laptop
- school uniform
- access to recreational extracurricular activities
What makes our grants different?
Our local children’s charity grants are holistically designed, with the full picture of a child’s needs in mind.
They support:
- Immediate, practical needs
Essential household items, clothing, bedding, white goods and other basics that bring stability back into daily life. - Longer-term emotional and educational needs
Tools for learning, access to activities and support that helps young people reconnect with childhood and thrive at school.
As a trusted charity for children, each grant is intentional and tailored, so the impact is often far greater than the cost.
For many young people, the difference is life-changing; a shift in confidence, security and opportunity that stays with them long after the items themselves.
The change we aim to make.
Every grant is designed to help a child or young person:
- feel safe and supported at home
- re-engage with education
- improve their wellbeing and confidence
- connect with what matters in their childhood
- take steps toward a more secure future
Buttle grants offer practical, immediate intervention, but the impact reaches far beyond the moment.
They give children a reason to smile, breathe easy and stand that little bit taller.
