For many people surviving on a low income or pension, making ends meet can be a real struggle.


When things go wrong, they can go wrong very quickly. When something like a washing


machine breaks down, the cost of a new one can be out of reach. Repairing a leaking roof or a broken down car is simply unaffordable


for many. That’s why we offer grants to help people through difficult times.


We assess each applicant individually, and tailor our help to that person’s needs. The service is completely confidential. Our helpline is open 5


days a week from 9am until 5pm and is reached by calling our helpline.
