    This programme supports children and young people who are facing exceptionally difficult circumstances by providing items that meet a child’s most basic needs such as a bed to sleep in, a cooker to provide a hot meal and other items or services critical to a child’s wellbeing.

    Family Fund Business Services is working in collaboration with BBC Children in Need to deliver the Emergency Essentials programme supporting children and young people living with severe poverty as well as additional pressures such as domestic violence, disability or poor health in the family.

    The Programme aims to process applications within 10 working days.

    The fund can help:

    • Children up to the age of 17
    • Children or young people living in the UK
    • Vulnerable children and young people who are experiencing a crisis or emergency

    • Electric cookers
    • Essential household items
    • Furniture and kitchen equipment
    • Children’s beds and bedding
    • Washing machines and tumble dryers
    • Fridges and freezers
    • Baby equipment
    • Clothing in exceptional or emergency situations
