2. Elizabeth Finn Care (EFC)
Through the generosity of our donors and supporters, Elizabeth Finn Care helps people of all ages who struggle to cope with a life in poverty due to, or made worse by, long term physical or mental illness, family breakdown, bereavement or redundancy - and older people on inadequate pensions. This is help that we know transforms, and even saves, lives.
We work to provide practical and effective solutions after listening carefully to each individual’s particular circumstances. This can include providing a weekly allowance to deal with the worry of not being able to pay the bills or buy fresh food. We also give special grants to replace essential household equipment or for building repairs. In some situations, if for some reason we are unable to offer financial help, we work to find an alternative source. Elizabeth Finn Care aims to reach as many people in need as it can and encourages them to come forward for help.
We also provide care and individual attention through contact with our well-trained, understanding and experienced caseworkers and volunteer visitors. This enables our beneficiaries – who may also lack supportive family or social networks – to feel valued and cared for once again.
