Funeral Support Scheme

Community Funeral Support

Our Funeral Support Scheme was established by the Swahili-speaking community in Hounslow and the surrounding areas to provide prompt assistance with funeral costs when a contributing member or an eligible close family member passes away.

The fund is reserved solely for its intended purpose and supports eligible members and their families in accordance with the scheme’s rules.

Who can receive support?

The scheme provides support towards funeral costs for:

• A contributing member.
• The member’s spouse.
• Dependent children in the member’s care.
• The member’s parents while visiting the United Kingdom, provided they are not permanent UK residents.

Contributions

An initial registration contribution of £200 is required. This forms part of the member’s total contributions to the fund.

Members then contribute £20 per month, with the option to pay their annual contributions in advance.

Payments should be made by Direct Debit or bank transfer to the scheme’s account, using the member’s assigned reference number so that contributions can be recorded accurately.

Funeral Support

The scheme supports funeral costs within the United Kingdom. If a member or an eligible family member passes away outside the UK, support is limited to essential, basic funeral expenses, subject to the scheme’s rules.
