In 2023 we set up a hardship fund that local residents within our catchment area can apply to for help with financial burdens. Life can be tough and sometimes a bit of help goes a really long way. 

​

We will ask applicants to give details of what they are struggling to afford. We will ask basic details about where you live, who is in your household, what (if any) income or benefits you are on. We budget £50 per person in your household, e.g. a family of 4 would be able to apply to the value of £200. 

 

What could you be eligible for?

Previous awards include paying an invoice (if agreed before work is carried out), buying items online for you such as an air fryer or heated blanket, paying over the phone for services you need such as a car MOT, having a home delivery of shopping sent to you or supermarket vouchers you can redeem yourself. We treat every application individually and try to help as best we can, so no matter what your situation is, please do get in touch. 

​

We do not give out cash or make bank transfers.

We are not able to pay you for things you have already bought.

This is partly funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. We are extremely grateful for their support. Read below some of the recent help we have been able to give ...
