Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
The Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust (FTCT) has announced a change to its grant criteria aimed at widening access for parents working across the fashion and textile sector.
The charity, which provides financial support to families facing hardship, says the update will make it easier for eligible parents and carers to apply for help with essential items for children. FTCT supports families with children aged 0 to 18, offering funding for necessities such as clothing, equipment and household goods.
The revised criteria reflect the evolving nature of employment within the industry, ensuring that those with varied or non-linear career paths can still qualify. FTCT highlighted that applicants typically need a proven connection to the fashion or textile sector, alongside evidence of financial need.
The organisation remains the only UK charity dedicated solely to supporting the children of fashion and textile workers, distributing hundreds of grants each year to families in need.
By refining its eligibility requirements, FTCT aims to reach more industry parents who may previously have fallen outside the criteria, reinforcing its mission to provide practical support and stability for children across the sector.
