GiG is a newly registered UK charity therefore at this present time we have limited funding.
It can be tempting and convenient to take out a "pay day" loan to help ease financial stress when something goes wrong. But often "pay day" loans can increase your financial pressure with late payment fees and daily interest charges.
Beware also that failing to repay a payday loan will also damage your credit score therefore making it harder and more expensive to access credit in the future.
GiG may be able to provide you with an alternative interest free loan to help alleviate your financial stress.
We have the courage to act outwardly on what we see inwardly. Bringing hope, dignity and a realisation of economic wellbeing, moving away from financial stress and crisis towards stability, resilience and self-reliance.

OPENING DOORS & CHANGING PEOPLES LANDSCAPES
The immensity of Gods Love is understood through the resources He provides us with and HIS desire for us to use them to care for others
We put in place mechanisms that help individuals and families to stay on top of their spending, giving them controlled spending, organised money management and financial inclusion. Putting together a properly constructed budget with the help of a guiding hand can help lift and encourage them to tackle the problem.
We are passionate about connecting with those that are truly trying to do their best to survive in today's society. For those living in poverty, every day is a financial struggle and when we live in a society that actually demands the poor to pay more, it’s hard for any of them to break out of that poverty trap.
We will give them the resources that will help them gain control over their finances rather than money having control over them, therefore helping to level their own playing field in today's society.

" Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38
"The knowledge of social well-being and of reform can be learned not from books, nor from the public platform, but in climbing the stairs to the poor person’s garret, sitting by their bedside, feeling the same cold that pierces them, sharing the secrets of their lonely hearts and troubled minds”
Antoine Frédéric Ozanam

And that concept of gaining knowledge is what we embrace here at GiG. We build true and trusting relationships with people, not through email and distant telephone conversations but through commited home visits. Only then shall we experience the real joy of meeting people and to truly coming to know them.
