Zinthiya Trust

The Zinthiya Trust (ZT) is a locally rooted organisation supporting women and families in Leicester and Leicestershire since 2009.

About our organisation

Our aim is to work towards a city where people can be free from poverty and abuse. We strive to achieve this by providing the following services:  

1. One to one support for women and girls fleeing all forms of abuse (including financial abuse).
2. Supporting individuals to overcome poverty by providing money, debt and energy advice.
3. Help and guidance in applying for eligible welfare benefits, housing and other energy/community support grants, ensuring individuals get the resources they need.
4. Providing practical support such as free emergency food and utility top ups; responding to immediate crisis situations in local communities.

In an average year, we support over 2,500 unique beneficiaries across our services.

We have a strong track record of delivering impactful services within our community, supporting people facing multiple and complex needs. We receive referrals from over 50 agencies.
