We are working with community partners as part of a programme of support to help people manage through winter.
The ‘Help Through Winter’ programme is funded by Somerset Council, who is working alongside partners across partners across education and the VCFSE sector to deliver essential support to families and residents.
The Help Through Winter Service is for people and families who are experiencing a financial crisis due to the additional challenges faced through the winter.
