Relieving hardship, creating opportunities to live well

We have supported individuals and families in our local community since 1811. Our aim is to relieve the burden of financial, physical and emotional hardship and create opportunities to live well.  We do this directly by helping with the costs of gas, electricity and other household essentials, but also through support to local voluntary sector organisations. Our vision is for an empowered, resilient and compassionate local community where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.

You can read more about how we aim to achieve our goals here.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

The Hampton fuel grant is an absolute lifeline..
I would not be able to pay my bills without it ..
With so much to worry about with prices constantly rising, this grant takes away a large chunk of pressure from my shoulders and is so appreciated,  thank you..

Receiving the Hampton Fund fuel grant is such a huge weight off my mind, it reduces a lot of anxiety that I feel I would otherwise not be able to cover my energy bill. And helps me to be a calmer parent. I am so grateful for the support you provide.

Thank you so much for the electricity grant. You have no idea what a difference this makes. I can face the winter now without worry and knowing I can have the heating on
