Future Projects / Emergency Hardship Fund
Emergency Hardship Fund
Immediate, practical help when a resident hits crisis — food, clothing, travel or emergency household items.
Project summary
The Emergency Hardship Fund provides fast, practical support when a resident faces a sudden crisis. Small, timely help can stop a setback becoming a relapse or a lost tenancy.
This is a rolling fund: every donation goes directly to a resident who needs help right now.

Why this matters
When someone in recovery faces a sudden crisis, a small amount of timely help can be the difference between a setback and a serious relapse. Statutory support is often slow — this fund lets us act immediately.
