More information
Local individuals and families who come forward for help will first be asked about their current circumstances and financial situation. This information will be carefully assessed by the Karim Foundation. Emergency financial support will only be provided to those who are in urgent need where they are struggling to buy food, heat their homes or pay their bills. If anyone is having problems with topping up their gas and electricity as a result of financial hardship, they should contact their energy supplier first. The Karim Foundation can only help with gas and electricity if the need is extremely urgent.
The Karim Foundation provides essential food, household items and support with domestic costs free of charge to local individuals and families in financial hardship.
