Sedgemoor Village Agent Crisis Fund

A project by Community Council for Somerset

Sedgemoor Village Agent Crisis Fund

Any donations to the Sedgemoor Village Agent Crisis Fund will be ringfenced to be allocated to communities and people in the Sedgemoor area.

Why the community needs us
Our Agents work with people who find themselves in situations no-one should be in - without food, heating, basic essentials or at a life-changing moment in their lives, but poverty is preventing them from moving forward.

People in crisis.

The Crisis Fund allows agents to access funds to pay for things to get people OUT of crisis & help make their lives instantly better. Because we manage the funding pot, there is no red tape so our Village & Community Agents can quickly access funds needed.

Our impact on the community - We help when others can’t, won’t, or don’t. Some examples of what these grants have been used for recently:

To buy 2 mattress protectors for a carer who was supporting their loved one with night time incontinence
To support a family with funeral costs after their teenage son died in a road accident
To buy children's clothes for a family who had recently lost Dad to cancer
To buy half a tank of oil for a lady with a chronic health condition who was struggling to heat her home
Paying to PAT test and move a donated Fridge Freezer to a family in need
To buy a washing machine for a carer who is struggling to keep up with washing demands
To buy food and drink for a client who had been struggling to get shopping during the lockdown. The Agent went shopping for the client to ensure she could eat and drink until the food bank was open For other examples of how the Somerset Crisis Fund has helped and transformed the lives of individuals in Somerset, please visit

2020 was an extremely difficult year due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and as a result, our Crisis Fund is depleted. We desperately need to raise funds to continue helping people out of crisis.

Every penny makes a HUGE difference to a person or a family's lives here in Sedgemoor.
