Additional Assistance
Some people face immediate practical barriers that make it difficult to stabilise their situation or move forward. In these circumstances, the Money Support Project may offer targeted Additional Assistance as part of a wider support conversation.
This is short-term, practical help designed to remove urgent barriers and support stability — not ongoing provision and not a replacement for income or benefits.
All Additional Assistance is provided on a case-by-case basis, with dignity and care, and always linked to wider financial resilience support. The aim is to help people stabilise, regain footing, and take next steps — not simply to meet an immediate need in isolation.
Short-term practical help we can provide:
(depending on circumstances)
HELP WITH UTILITY OR FUEL COSTS
CARE PACKAGES
PHONES OR SIM CARDS
CLOTHING
ESSENTIAL HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
HAIRCUTS
