About the VRF Fund

The Vicar’s Relief Fund (VRF) is a fund established by St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity (registered charity number: 1156305). The VRF helps those who are homeless or vulnerably housed through small-sum, rapid response grants to prevent eviction or access accommodation. Frontline workers can apply on behalf of their clients for grants to help prevent eviction (of up to £350) or access accommodation (of up to £500).

This form can be found on our Flexi-Grant application portal and by clicking on the appropriate following link: WRITTEN CONSENT and VERBAL CONSENT.
