Most people who apply to the Society for help have enjoyed a normal lifestyle, which becomes interrupted by illness or accident or some other disruption to family income. Within a very short space of time they find themselves in debt and then in crisis. Applications for help made to the State cannot be processed in time and often the family faces the prospect of eviction or shut off of utilities. Typically the Society can provide relief in 3 basic categories;

• Emergency Care – the payment of outstanding utility bills or overdue rent on a one-off basis
• Transitional Support – a small monthly stipend to help with expenses during a temporary downturn in income – (usually not exceeding 6 months )
• Crisis Transportation – Airfare to the UK for emergencies or permanent resettlement, or to cover car repairs if needed for work
