Greater Manchester Disaster Relief Trust Fund
The Disaster Relief Trust was established in 1979 in response to the Manchester Woolworth's fire tragedy. Its aim was to provide financial support to victims of this fire and other large-scale disasters who were experiencing financial distress, sickness or other disability as a result of the tragedy. Since then, the Trust has provided financial support following the 1985 Manchester Airport disaster and the 1996 Manchester City Centre bombing.
The Trust welcomes applications supported by recognised bodies. Individual applications for financial support from the trust must be made via a third party who works for a recognised body this may be a social worker or officer from a charity or voluntary organisation.
