Urgent financial help

The Kent Support and Assistance Service (KSAS) is KCC's emergency welfare service and may be able to help you if you have experienced an unforeseen, short-term crisis or if you are facing exceptional pressures because of an emergency.

KSAS offer help for a short time only if you have no other means of support, and if all other avenues of support have been exhausted. KSAS do not provide money but support with essential items, like food, and help with utilities.
