We should like to make your readers aware of the help available to vulnerable or disadvantaged families in your area living in crisis. For over 60 years we have been helping children and young people in need.
Our Small Grants Programme is designed to help ensure children experiencing very difficult circumstances where their safety, health or development is at risk, still have their basic material needs met.
We can provide basic items “usually up to the value of £300” – such as a bed, fridge, or cooker to give them a hot meal.
More information can be found a5t buttleuk.org or through the council or voluntary sector organisations.
