Covid-19
We are working to support people during this unprecedented public health emergency; helping our existing beneficiaries and responding to new requests for help. If we are not able to help financially, we will look at signposting to other services and information.
Our help:
- If you have worked in our sector for three or more years, we may be able to help you through practical, emotional and financial support – our financial support is based on assessing your overall financial position and access to state support and other benefits
- If you are a business owner/manager in our sector and believe our free helpline offering practical and emotional support could help you and your employees, please get in touch so we can discuss what you need
