Charities

There are many charities that can help by providing financial support, equipment or other types of assistance. Some charities are set up to help families through difficult times, while others focus on specific groups, such as children or people with certain disabilities. Your local parent organisation is also a great place to look for help.

 

You may also be able to get support from organisations related to your work, as many have funds to help employees in need. Consider whether you have links with trade unions or professional groups, as they may be able to help. Even family members with connections to these organisations might make you eligible for help.

 

Faith groups such as your local church, synagogue, mosque or temple may also be worth approaching for support.

For information and support near you, visit your local parent organisation’s website.
