A story of someone who received support from the NST via OCTA...
A local, single mum-of-three reached out to the Neighbourhood Support Team, after a sudden drop in benefits left her family struggling. She was also experiencing anxiety and low confidence. With just one conversation, this lady was quickly connected to the right help, receiving an emergency fuel voucher, a food parcel, and access to weekly Foodshare; easing the immediate financial pressure. As things stabilised, she gained confidence and joined a Cooking on a Budget workshop, which helped to rebuild skills and connection in the community.
