We really do want to help as many people as possible, so if you are a person who needs help or are representing someone who needs help, please do contact us to discuss your needs. If we don’t have a volunteer available with the correct skillset, we can look to recruit someone.  It might mean a wait for support, but we will do everything in our power to make the connection. Our support is free, but if you are able to pay for materials we would be grateful for this contribution (or payment for part of the materials).  However, if you personal circumstances are such that you are unable to pay at all, this would not stop us from providing the service, we would just need to fundraise for the materials which might delay the start date for you job.
