Message from Lisa Davis, CEO of CAEE

“We have been given more Household Support funds to distribute to those who are tipping into financial crisis. From June to September, we assisted 161 clients, including families, older people, and those with disabilities or long-term conditions. We provided essential help such as energy or supermarket vouchers and direct utility payments.

We saw first-hand the significant positive impact this support had on our community, alleviating financial pressure and anxiety.

Examples of crises we can help with include:

Repairing an essential family car to get to work
Providing support equipment to prevent a disabled person from falling into hardship
Covering costs for new school uniforms
Assisting with utility bills

Get in touch with us as soon as possible – we can help.
