What our customers said…

“I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help. I honestly don't know what I would have done without your support.  I feel like I can breathe, you have saved my life."

After losing her job to ill health, Ms T let her rent arrears get out of control, she didn’t ask for help and was about to lose her home. 

Eviction is always the last solution and our Income Team contacted Ms T to provide support, which was accepted.  The Income Team helped Ms T to ensure she was received the benefits she was entitled to; she was also supported with energy vouchers.

Ms T is now back on track and is no longer at risk losing her home, her arrears are reducing and she is getting support to manager her debts and welfare benefits.
