CCV can send vouchers via Express Post, or email e-vouchers depending on the needs of you and/or your family. 

We also provide referrals to other more intensive supports such as financial counselling, help with mental health wellbeing, loss and grief, and alcohol and other drug support. 

We offer confidential, non-judgemental support to maintain the dignity of individuals and families.
