Joy Butel and her Pay It Forward friends are dedicated to assisting those that may need a bit of a helping hand now and then. It could be something as simple as a chat over a cuppa with an elderly person, or as intense as fundraising for a sick child.

If you know of a person, family or organisation that is trying hard to move forward, but perhaps struggling due to a change in circumstances, for example, financial hardship or perhaps health problems, then we want to hear from you. Perhaps you would like to offer assistance yourself but need some guidance, or you might already be Paying It Forward to them but they require some further assistance? Share their story with us!

Pay It Forward isn't just about financial help, you don't need to provide money to help in most instances, simple gestures such as cooking someone a meal, leaving a care basket or offering yourself as a free taxi service can make a huge difference in the life of someone that is struggling, lonely or unwell. We are always building on our network of Pay It Forward friends that come from all walks of life; therefore if you were interested in helping Pay It Forward to someone we would love to hear from you also!

Below is where you can make your Pay It Forward submission for a family, person or organisation that you think deserves some help. We will contact you to verify the submission, however we will not release any of your personal information without your consent as we appreciate some people prefer to Pay It Forward anonymously.
