Aishah Help has received funding from the East End Community Foundation’s Life Chances: Tackling Pensioner Poverty Fund to support older people in East London. This project aims to help vulnerable pensioners access unclaimed benefits, financial assistance, and essential services for greater financial stability.

Project Breakdown

•Support for Older People – Helping individuals access one-off payments (e.g., winter fuel, council tax rebates) and annual benefits (e.g., pension credits, universal credit).

•Quarterly Community Forums – Providing professional development and networking opportunities.

•Monitoring & Evaluation – Regular reporting, financial tracking, and participant case studies to measure success.

This funding will make a real difference in tackling pensioner poverty by ensuring more older people access the financial support they are entitled to.
