Giving you a Helping Hand
Our Helping Hand Fund is accessible to every customer in crisis.
We awarded £406K to 1,112 customers this year. The biggest area of support was food vouchers, with 1,411 vouchers totalling £126K distributed.
We also helped customers to pay rent and utility bills, and buy white goods, furniture and flooring.

Supporting our community partners
We awarded £512k to 68 of our community partners this year, to help them to continue to provide local services, from youth programmes, to jobs and workplace training, advice and support services and community gardens.
This money helped 23,458 people this year, fewer than in 2023-24 (32,503), as we helped customers more intensively, ensuring they were supported across various aspects of their lives.

Suppliers deliver even more social value
Our suppliers generated a total of £27.5m in social value in 2024-25, almost three times the £9.6m delivered in 2023-24.
Along with jobs, apprenticeships, volunteer hours, mentoring, work placements, financial donations and project sponsorship, this includes £23.5m spent by suppliers with small businesses and community organisations, helping boost local economies and support the voluntary sector.
