Low Income Support Programme:
UCWB works with like-minded agencies and organisations to raise awareness of the causes and effects that poverty and hardship can have in the local community. The Low Income Support Program develops strategies and resources to help alleviate the stresses that poverty and disadvantage can bring to individuals and families, as it aims to help people gain control of their financial situation. The Program incorporates community development, community education, advocacy and financial counselling to individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
