Port In The Storm (PITS for short) is a new practical support service designed to help people who are dealing with a life challenge. By ‘life challenge’, we mean anything that makes life more difficult than usual, that you would like to resolve or move forward in – at PITS, we call these ‘life storms’. This can be anything from a complaint to something more life changing like redundancy or a bereavement. Whilst many free services, like Citizens Advice and other charities, struggle to fund free support and often need to limit their offering to generic advice, Port In The Storm is a new way to get the personalised support you need, when you need it.
Please be aware that this survey asks about challenging experiences you have encountered in life, so may trigger any associated emotions. Whilst we would like you to be honest about your experiences, to help us understand what people need in these difficult situations, please only include information you are happy to share.
