The Hardship Fund
The Hardship Fund is available to provide financial support for our Community. Winter is hard in many ways, particularly financially. With the extra financial pressures of Christmas, heating bills on top of a summer season cut short due to Coronavirus, this could leave any one of us struggling to make ends meet. Please do not struggle alone, whether you live alone, in a couple or are a family with children, contact either Matt, Rachel or Jennie to have a friendly and confidential chat to find out what support we can offer you. Please just pick up the phone.
