Story

The Coronavirus is at the front of all our minds. The very real threat of sickness, isolation, and services closing requires an urgent response.

People are already struggling to make ends meet, and those who can't afford to miss work will be the hardest hit. If schools are closed families relying on free school meals will need extra help. Energy bills could soar for people who are forced to stay in isolation and people on zero hours contracts may be unable to earn for weeks, possibly months.

If you're able to work from home why not donate the cost of your commute - petrol, bus, train, tube - to people in more difficult circumstances - this could add up to make a huge difference.

#GiveAFare

Your daily £5 bus pass - Could help provide support through our free phone helpline

Your daily £10 train ticket - Could buy for food or help with bills for a family struggling to afford the basics

Your weekly £15 fuel cost - Could help an older person manage in their own home

We have already seen an increase in the demand for our services and are gearing up for a further surge in demand for urgent financial support and practical information.

Please consider making a donation now. On behalf of people struggling in your community, thank you.
