Cost of living support

With significant rise in the cost of living we know that some households will be struggling financially, emotionally or because they need practical advice and help.

We know that it is a difficult time for everyone right now as the rising cost of everything is making it difficult to make ends meet. This area of our site has been provided to share information on some of the help that is available within the district, some handy hints and tips to help you, and general information to lighten the load.

As new schemes, advice and support becomes available this page will be kept updated, please keep checking back to find out what's changed.
