Buttle UK recognises that every family’s circumstances is unique and ‘low income’ can mean different things to different people.

We aim to support families with incomes in the lowest 10% in the UK (before housing). Most of our families only receive Universal Credit and Child Benefit. However, some families may also receive other benefits such as disability benefits, or maybe maintenance payments or earned income. In these cases, we take into consideration the individual family circumstances such as family size, location, employment and the crisis they are facing - which can all significantly impact on the family’s finances.

Our Grant Development Officers carefully review every application to ensure Buttle UK delivers support where it’s needed most. They focus on understanding the family’s specific circumstances with transparency and fairness guiding the grant decision.
