The cost of living crisis is having a far-reaching impact across our society. People who are already in poverty need help right now to keep their heads above water and for the next few years we need to ensure that people can access a lifeline when they need it most. We seek to work with the financially excluded, concentrating on the most vulnerable members of our community, all of whom will be or have been struggling with mental health problems.

The project will focus on providing early intervention to address issues that are known to cause ‘mental health dips’. The caseworker will provide eligible clients with intensive one to one advice and ongoing casework support with a primary view to increasing their income, thereby improving their wellbeing and reducing anxiety whilst preventing mental health crises. Participants will be assisted via a holistic, person-led approach.
