Charitable Trust is looking for new trustees
The SSWCT offers independent support to Cambridge Water customers and, since its launch, has helped thousands of customers by awarding grants that cover the costs of these bills.
“This is an opportunity for an individual to make a real difference to their community. Water is something we all take for granted. We use it every day and it’s vital for our health and hygiene. While turning on a tap is easy, however for some paying your water bill may be more difficult.
The South Staffordshire Water Charitable Trust is there to help people who are facing genuine difficulties or distress, for example, if they suddenly find themselves unemployed or diagnosed with an illness.”
Dan Rhodes, trust secretary at South Staffordshire Water Charitable Trust
