As well as the more well known aspects of our work, providing free advice on a wide range of issues such as debt management, energy bills, housing and benefits we also run a number of projects of benefit to the local community. These include the Volunteer Driver Service, providing transport to hospital and doctors appointments, Connect! which helps people to get online, make the most of phones, laptops etc, and providing second hand equipment to those who cannot afford it and the Community Assist Team which helps people out of hospital cope at home, helping with household chores, claiming benefits and accessing equipment such as wheelchairs and ramps. all three projects help with alleviating social isolation With the current economic climate, demands on our services are increasing, whilst local government grants are being reduced. If you were able to help us in any way with promoting and raising funds for our charity, it really would be very much appreciated.
