Holy Trinity Church support from Triangle Project in Leicester

While there are many programmes administered by the Holy Trinity Church, the two that aim to help the vulnerable include the Triangle Homeless Project as well as the Money Advice Service. The exact type of assistance provided by these two schemes will vary, often based on donations and the work of volunteers from across Leicestershire.

The vulnerably housed, which includes tenant facing an eviction or those living in unsafe or unclean living conditions, can get help from the Triangle Homeless Project. This will also help the homeless in the region. The support provided by Holy Trinity Church include the following.

-Food is provided by donations and the work of volunteers collecting items. This may include hot meals as well as drinks, canned items, and more.
-Free meals are served at the Crescent House.
-Toiletries for the homeless will help address personal hygiene needs, especially for the homeless.
-Clothes and practical support such as bedding or a warm blanket may be provided in Leicestershire.
-A Christmas part is run by Holy Trinity Church, and this may provide free holiday meals.

A special meal service is held on Fridays. There are dozens of hot meals served as well as drinks and more. Some vulnerable people that attend this Holy Trinity Church programme will also be given a free food parcel which can help feed them for a few days.

Other support, such as advice, is given to the clients. The volunteers from the Triangle Homeless Project will give people a listening ear. The team will listen to what the crisis is and try to help if possible. But most of that support may be in the form of signposting to other Leicester agencies.

The Holy Trinity Church Money Advice programme is a free debt advice centre run in partnership with the Community Money Advice. The phone number is 0116 319 2636. There are many services available to anyone who needs assistance. There is help in dealing with debt arrears for credit cards, car loans, and other expenses. There will also be workshops held by the centre that offer budgeting classes or that give tips on maximising income.

The team at the centre can directly negotiate with creditors. Whether it is a bank or payday firm, the team at the Holy Trinity Church debt office will call the lender and try to help them enter into payment arrangements. Or they will even help families local to Leicester eliminate their bills by only making partial payments.

Dozens of people local to Leicestershire turn to the centre each month. The church has helped many people over the years deal with unpaid debts. The volunteers from the church have helped people get on the path to a more secure and stable future.

Services also assist with bankruptcy or filing Debt Relief Orders. These are more of a last resort, but are options. Counsellors can provide tips on when that may be the path to take.

Any type of advice from the centre will also include addressing the lack of money skills. This is for a long term solution to ending the cycle of borrowing. Many families in Leicestershire turn to the Holy Trinity Church for advice with this issue.

The main Church Office is at Turner Street in Leicester. People that are housing insecure, or that need debt help, can stop by. Or dial 0116 254 8981.
