What Relief in Need means: Help with money:

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.

All requests are treated on an individual and confidential basis.

Example Needs:

• Awaiting the outcome of a benefits claim
• To replace 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
