Financial Support

At Perennial we are here to offer advice, information and support to those working in horticulture and have many services that can support you.
Perennial can support you through many of life challenges. If you are worried about paying your bills, have health, housing, benefit or employment issues we are happy to help with any issue you may be facing, however complicated. If we are not able to offer the advice you need, we will give you details of other organisations who are able to provide specialist help.
If you’re finding it difficult to manage financially because of an unexpected event our team can assess what financial support may be available to you and help you understand the options available to you.
If your income has stopped or reduced we can offer short term support towards daily living costs, including food, heating and clothing. We can also offer help through a period of illness, such as helping with the additional costs of travelling to hospitals and treatment appointments or for families who have experienced a recent bereavement.
Our financial help is intended to complement welfare benefits and we can support you to understand and apply for any statutory support available to you. We have a range of one off financial support programmes to find out more.
