Somerset Crisis Fund
Our Agents work with people who find themselves in situations no-one should be in – without food, heating, basic essentials or at a life-changing moment in their lives, but poverty is preventing them from moving forward.
People in crisis.
The Crisis Fund allows agents to access funds to pay for things to get people OUT of crisis & help make their lives instantly better. This is NOT cash donations given to individuals.
Donate to the cause
We are in desperate need of funds for the Crisis Fund as the unprecedented demand after the pandemic, and now the cost of living crisis has depleted our resources.
