Make sure you get the financial support you're entitled to
This section is intended to help you access advice and the support you’re entitled to when you need it most.
If you’re worried about money and living costs, you’re not alone. Anyone can find themselves overwhelmed by financial pressures, for a number of reasons, and this can impact on your health and your wellbeing.
If you’re struggling to pay your bills, you may be eligible for help.
Each year many benefits and other forms of support go unclaimed so together with local organisations and community partners we’ve produced this guide on the help that’s currently available to boost the income of those affected and hopefully ease some of these pressures. Please remember to check full eligibility criteria before applying
If you’re worried about money or heating your home, don’t assume you’re receiving everything you’re entitled to. As personal circumstances and what’s available can change it’s always worth checking. If you’re struggling or in doubt, please contact any of the council teams or organisations listed on back page for advice - we’re all here to help.
