It’s hard times financially and we are looking for ways to help Plaistow South residents – here is the help we can offer at the moment….
Household Support Fund
PSBL is delighted to be chosen to support Newham Council working in partnership with the London Borough of Newham to deliver on the Mayor’s Community Wealth Building agenda. Families in need can apply for vouchers worth up to £250. The payments are intended to assist families and individuals with the cost of food, bills and other household goods and if you live in Plaistow South you have access to financial support whatever your circumstances. We have £9050 worth of grants to give away in from February to late March. It is a simple process to apply – we will fill out the form with you. Contact Denny on 07922 712214 or email us at info@psbl.org.uk. Please note: We will be closing the application process on Friday 18th March at 5pm.
Money Health Checks
We can help 15 households in Plaistow South with a simple telephone call. We have been very impressed by the work of Clean Slate Training & Employment who are able to reduce household bills by an average of at least £320 a year. If you can put aside an hour to speak with a support worker (you wont pay for the call) then you will get a lot of help and several follow on calls.
To register for this help, it can be done directly on the Clean Slate website: https://www.
.co.uk/refer-to-london.html. Or of course you can contact us for help and to check if you fit into our Plaistow South roads. info@psbl.org.uk / 07922 712214 (Denny)
Quids In magazine will be delivered to your door at the end of February
Quids In is a very useful magazine about money matters of all kinds. We have commissioned a special Plaistow edition which we hope you will find useful. It also includes numbers of organisations who can help that we have included below. Do let us know your comments!
