Practical assistance with everyday expenses
For many, keeping up with the rising cost of living can be overwhelming. The Centre offers assistance with essential needs such as food, household bills, medical expenses, transport and education costs. Their aim is to help ease immediate financial strain and provide a foundation for greater stability.
Housing support and homelessness prevention
Housing insecurity is a growing issue, and the Centre is equipped to help.
