If you are in need of help, please contact Eastleigh Basics Bank. In order to prevent abuse, you will need to be referred by an appropriate third party and there are dozens of them. Please refer to the Eastleigh Basics Bank website or give them a call for further information on this. So the next time you go shopping, if you can afford to, why not get a couple of extra things to help those in need.
