The Rainy Day Trust’s Bryan Clover warns that while the media focus is firmly on the forthcoming General Election, it’s easy to forget that a lot of people still have struggles to contend with – from mental health issues to financial worries.
The industry charity’s CEO said: “I have said it before, but it is worth reiterating that if you have cancer you don’t think twice about seeking help from Macmillan, so if there are financial problems, you shouldn’t hesitate to get in touch with the Rainy Day Trust.
“We would far rather get involved early to help tackle problems than be called in at the last minute when things have got too big to solve. Too many people just flog on in silence when they don’t need to. Sometimes just a simple intervention is all that is needed.”
Bryan is asking businesses to encourage staff to talk to the Rainy Day Trust and has leaflets and posters (see below) which can be emailed across to merchant businesses for printing off and displaying in public areas around the premises.
“Everything that we do is confidential,” added Bryan. “We are also more than happy to come and talk to teams, either managers and HR teams, or the whole staff team in small groups. Just email bryan@rainydaytrust.org.uk and we can book a visit.”
To contact the Charity for support, call 0800 915 4627 or get in touch via the RDT website. For potential fundraising partnerships, contact Bryan directly by emailing bryan@rainydaytrust.org.uk
