If you have a client you think would benefit from Wimbledon Guild's support, you can refer them by:

Emailing us at info@wimbledonguild.co.uk, or

Calling us on 020 8946 0735

Care professionals and key workers can make a referral to us for someone living in Merton who needs emergency financial help.

Note: If you think your client might have applied to us for a grant within the last 12 months please ask them to call us on 020 8946 0735 before applying.

Please include a supporting statement or letter of reference from you or another professional with their application.

We’ll be opening applications for the 2026/2027 Crisis Grant Funding in the next few days. Our online application form is not available right now, but you can still apply by emailing us at welfare@wimbledonguild.co.uk.

Please include your client's name, postcode, and phone number so we can let you know as soon as the form is live.

If your client needs urgent support before then, please contact the Merton Council Welfare team at lwss@merton.gov.uk. 

Care professionals and key workers, as well as family and friends, can make a referral to our Wellbeing Support service.

The person you are referring must be able to meaningfully engage with the Wellbeing Support team in order to benefit from the service. They must be able to understand what the Wellbeing Support service offers and give informed consent to this referral being made.

Our Befriending service is provided by volunteers so unfortunately we cannot help everyone.

We may be unable to support people with complex mental health issues, complex cognitive or memory issues, or those who are unable to engage fully, appropriately and respectfully with us. We assess each referral on an individual basis.
