SPRING UPDATE
HOW WE'RE HELPING
SPRING UPDATE
The telephone continues to be busy even in this lovely Spring weather with the cost of living still taking its toll. We are continuing to help with emergency utilities and food, whilst other provisions/solutions are sought. We are providing emergency accommodation for those who do not meet the Government's 'priority' criteria and are working closely with the the local Council and others in the Voluntary Sector for both those who are 'priority' and those who are not. It is a busy time and WBH are working hard to 'make a difference' in many lives - both individuals and families.
Our Befrienders are working hard with clients to ensure their tenancy, utility or other housing issues are resolved and we are very grateful to be able to utilise the Loose Ends premises as a base for this work.

This is the Help Through Hardship number open weekdays 9am to 5pm, a free national number. Long wait times but clients will get to speak with a Citizens Advice advisor within an hour, so worth the wait.
