Fashion & Textile Children's Trust

Fashion & Textile Children's Trust The Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust is a small charity with a long history of supporting families in the UK fashion and textile industry.

Supporting parents working in UK fashion & textiles with grants for school uniform, clothing & household essentials 👕🏠
💛 Practical help for parents - apply online today. We believe no fashion or textile family should struggle financially to meet their child's basic needs. Founded in 1853 by a group of philanthropic textile merchants, FTCT supports children aged under 18 years with grants towards e

ssential items such as clothing, bedding and shoes. We can also provide grants for more specialist educational or mobility needs. A grant is a financial donation which does not have to be repaid. It is not a loan and there are no hidden catches. We are the UK fashion and textile industry’s charity – backed by the industry, supporting the children of people working in the industry. Please 'Like' and share this page, to raise awareness of the help we can give to children of fashion and textile families, across the UK.
