What we will provide to volunteers
💸 Reimbursement of costsAbout Tabor Living (Father Hudson's Caritas)
Tabor Living prides itself on being an independent organisation that, in partnership with Father Hudson’s Caritas, is able to provide help to those who need it most.
This includes people with complex needs and/or no recourse to public funds (NRPF), both of whom often fall through the cracks and can feel let down by the limited options available to them. Many organisations have restrictions around who they’re able to help, but Tabor Living’s projects don’t share these same limitations, which means that we can support an often extremely marginalised group of people.
