The Jefford Weller Fund

Foundations Derbyshire
< Back to all Funds

The Fund was established by the Rev’d John Jefford-Weller and his wife Kathleen in 1988.

Although they were motivated by their Christian beliefs and concern for the needy, the Fund is available to support individuals and groups of any faith or none who are working with homelessness and housing issues in Derbyshire.

The fund works to help prevent homelessness – tackling the root causes & stopping vulnerable individuals from spiralling into a situation where they may become homeless. This could include supporting individuals with mental health problems, addictions, debt problems, dealing with domestic abuse and a range of other issues.

The fund also recognises the need for reactionary work – providing support for people who are currently homeless whether this be the basic provision of shelter and food or more long term support to re-gain tenancies, education etc.

The Jefford-Weller fund also offers financial assistance directly to the organisations working hard to bring about these changes in the form of grants for organisational improvements.
