The SSWCT offers independent support to South Staffs Water customers and, since its launch, has helped thousands of customers by awarding grants that cover the costs of these bills. “This is an opportunity for an individual to make a real difference to their community. Water is something we all take for granted. We use it every day and it’s vital for our health and hygiene. While turning on a tap is easy, however for some paying your water bill may be more difficult. The South Staffordshire Water Charitable Trust is there to help people who are facing genuine difficulties or distress, for example, if they suddenly find themselves unemployed or diagnosed with an illness.” - Rachael Merrell, trust secretary at South Staffordshire Water Charitable Trust Key responsibilities Considering applications Making decisions regarding grants Reviewing and establishing the trust policies Managing the trust's resources.
