With no income due to the first UK lockdown, Darren quickly found himself in debt.
Living off of a loan and credit cards during my training and for the first year, had given me a huge debt to pay when I started to earn through the new venture. Unfortunately, a month down the line I had lost everything. With a debt of £38,000 I had to call it a day.’
The Hardship Fund granted by ACCT UK changed Darren’s life.
The Hardship Fund came at a time where it was such a life line for me to be able to get small essentials that I could not afford and for this I was so grateful.’
Darren found the ACCT UK grant application process very simple, ‘It only took around 5 minutes to complete and return’.
ACCT UK helped 245 Adult ACF Volunteers and their families to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.
