We are calling out to local businesses that interact with families every day who might recognise when someone may need help and are unsure what to do.
We are passionate about creating a community-wide approach to tackling poverty, that is non stigmatising and ensures families have access to services before their situations become critical. It’s a simple approach. We are encouraging people to trust their instincts and capitalise on the relationships they build with their clients and customers.
