The funds raised at events such as the Waitrose & Partners Garden Party will help the charity continue to make a very real difference to people in need.
GroceryAid provides financial support through crisis and longer term grants, the provision of essential and mobility items, and a tailored programme for Carer’s.
In addition the charity has a 24/7 Helpline providing problem solving and emotional support for a range of topics including;
- financial advice and debt management
