Dear Parent/Carer,

 

HOME ACCESS GRANTS ~ INVITATION TO APPLY

Home Access is a government programme that helps eligible low-income families to buy

a computer and internet access to support learning at home.  The programme is for families in England.

To apply for a Home Access Grant, you must be a parent or guardian responsible for and living with a child who:

• is in school Years 3 to 9 (normally aged 7-14);

• is eligible for free school meals, and
• is named on your Child Benefit award letter.

To get a grant application pack, you need to contact the Home Access Grant Helpline on 0333 200 1004 (Monday to Friday 8.00 am-8.00 pm, Saturday 9.00 am-1.00 pm)

You will be given a basic eligibility check over the ‘phone.  If successful, you will be sent an application pack.  It will tell you everything you need to fill in an application form.  It also includes a Freepost envelope for returning the form.

If your application is successful, the grant will allow you to buy one of the following Home Access packages:

1.      Full package (a computer, one year’s internet access, service and support).

2.      A computer, service and support only.

3.      One year’s internet access only.

This is a fantastic opportunity and we really hope your application is successful.
