The assistance available at Margins Project is available certain months of the year and days of the week as well. But the volunteers at Union Chapel will also provide some basic, practical support such as food and free advice, whenever the drop in centre is open.

Applicants should first go through the Union Chapel Margins Project Advice and Resettlement Service, which is offered in partnership with other agencies such as The Pillion Trust. Advice is only provided on Sundays and during the winter months from the shelter. But any information is always provided to Union Chapel clients for free by the Advice Worker.

There is support for both people living in poverty as well as anyone facing a one time financial hardship.
