Early in the lockdown, we used CDF grants to help support the food banks that have become even more vital to many during the Coronavirus pandemic. We donated a total of £2,700 to 18 local food banks across Shropshire and Herefordshire. This follows a previous grant of £2,700 to Ludlow Food Bank to improve their storage facilities.
Our Tenancy Sustainment Officers can help you through struggles with your finances and rent, helping with benefit claims and signposting to other agencies.
We know that winter can put an extra financial strain on some households, with higher energy bills, festive spending and other costs quickly adding up. If you're a Connexus tenant, you can benefit from the specialist advice and support offered by our team. If you're having difficulties managing your finances then it is important to let us know as soon as possible, so we can support you.
If you find yourself in difficult circumstances, then we’re here to help. The sooner you let us know, the more preventative measures we can put in place.
