Helps local people with monthly small grants to cover immediate needs. Most grants are given to the elderly or those in special need to help with general expenses, i.e heating and one off payments are made on an ad hoc basis for holidays and at Christmas time. We organise special community events for the needy, for example the Christmas party and use the grant to help with this.
