If you would like to talk to a member of the GroceryAid team about applying for funding, please email [email protected] or call 01252 875925 (option 1). At GroceryAid we are not counsellors and will not be able to discuss what support is best for you, but we can help you with your funding application.
If your partner or family does not want to take part, or you, your partner or dependent aged 16+ living in your household would rather speak to someone on your own, support is available through GroceryAid’s free and confidential Helpline.
