LTC Who We Help

Financial grants

We understand the unique financial challenges faced by those in licensed hospitality – fluctuating tips, variable shifts, and the ever-present uncertainty of seasonal work.

For instant guidance, we have a range of services available that offer practical advice to anybody in the licensed trade who is navigating financial difficulties. These have been created to support you through a variety of issues and offer practical tips that can help you work through what you are facing.

 

For those who have worked in the licensed trade for a minimum of five years and fit our criteria, we might be able to support with a one-off grant if you or an immediate family member (living in the same household) are facing financial difficulties. Get in touch today to find out if we can help.
