What to Expect

When you contact us by phone or email, we’ll take time to listen and ask some questions about your situation so we can understand what support might be most helpful for you. This helps us offer the most appropriate advice or assistance within our services. The support we can provide depends on current funding and availability, so something you may have heard about – or received in the past – might not always be available. Even if we can’t offer direct support, we will do our best to guide you and signpost you to other organisations that may be able to help.

 

We may be able to help with oil, electric or gas top-ups. We can also on occasion provide retail vouchers to help with food and other essential provisions. Depending on your circumstance, we might also be able to support with white goods and other basic furniture items. We can also help you access support from other organisations

I had been living in hostels and sleeping rough for a number of years and the tenancy deposit scheme has allowed me to gain a sense of safety and security though renting my own home, the whole process was simple and straightforward and thanks all involved for your support.
