Tavistock Assistance Program
The Tavistock Assistance Program, affectionately known as TAP, was established in 2009, as an act of caring and compassion by a group of community members. These individuals sought to offer help and hope to those- a friend, a neighbour, who needed a hand up.
2024 brings the 15th year of neighbours helping neighbours. TAP is funded through the generosity of donations and these dollars provide short-term, emergency or temporary support to people living in the communities of Tavistock, Hickson and Shakespeare.
TAP can be accessed by calling or emailing tapisforyou@outlook.com or (519) 655-3500 and the support offered is timely and confidential. The Program Director meets with the individual or family requesting support to tailor a response that meets each unique circumstance.
While TAP is not able to provide ongoing or long-term support, should there be ongoing needs TAP can offer referrals or recommendations for other services and supports that may be able to assist.
