 Covid-19 emergency appeal launched!

Malmesbury Area Covid-19 Emergency Hardship Fund

Donate online on our Local Giving page

 Heals helps vulnerable local people and families.
We have stepped up in this emergency to do even more‎ to help those who need it now, as well as those that soon will. None of us know how long this crisis will last. We do not want to see local people not receiving basic essentials or resorting to payday loans and getting into serious debt to survive. 
We are managing an Emergency Hardship Fund which aims to help pay ‎essential bills for residents and meet other urgent needs.  
Please support this appeal and be as generous as you can.‎ 
​If you need help from the Emergency Hardship Fund during these difficult times please email heals.malmesbury@gmail.com and we will be in touch
