MCSF also fund work by Your Store, Soar Valley Community Money Advice and Love4Life, all working with people in need who live in Mountsorrel.

"Very easy to apply, very fair and helpful. They really helped me when I was in financial difficulty and I felt my needs were listened to. Absolutely great service.”

“I lost my job, my purpose and my self esteem, which resulted in severe depression. Money was a major worry and so was form filling and long phone calls trying desperately to get help. Phoning the Community Support Fund was the best call I made.”

"The charity has provided my family with sensitive and confidential support, which I will always be grateful for. It’s an amazing resource available to the people of Mountsorrel, in times when they need it the most."
