Relief in Need

Help when there is nowhere else to turn

Money is not the solution to all of life's problems, but there are often times when shortage of money can be a real problem in itself. When circumstances conspire to make life difficult, the United Charities may be able to help. It is difficult to describe all the times when such help may be needed, but some are listed below. If you think we may be able to help, do ring our Clerk or one of the Trustees. There are no fixed income limits for applications nor do we ask applicants to declare their income or savings.

What Relief in Need means: Help with money:

Whilst awaiting the outcome of a benefits claim
To equip a home for the first time when you haven't enough money to buy the basics
To replacing broken or worn out household equipment
To afford travelling expenses when visiting relatives in hospital
For those struggling with bills when a spouse or partner has left
For people coping with altered circumstances caused by bereavement
To pay for educational school trips and school uniforms
To convert bathrooms to be accessible to older people

Requests for help can be made through the office at The Institute, 38 Church Street, Deeping St James, Lincs PE6 8HD or by telephone or email, and individual trustees are always happy to be approached directly to discuss parishioners' needs in confidence.
