the OMA SOlidarity Fund

The Solidarity Fund was an OMA pilot project of cash-first support, providing 200 grants of £30 on a first-come, first served basis.

This was cash intended to help people with their basic living expenses - i.e. bills, rent, or other payments they are struggling with. Please take the support if you feel you need it.

This is non-means tested, but has a basic criteria.

- All applicants should have received an OMA parcel in 2026.

- Only one application per household is permitted. The household must be where an OMA parcel has been delivered in past year.

This is a one-off project with limited, restricted funding. However, should this prove successful, we hope to secure further specific funding to re-open the fund in the future.

UPDATE: As the fund did not receive 200 applications, we have reserve funds to re-open the fund in several months time, likely in June. We will inform parcel recipients through this online and through leaflets.
