Join the campaign to help our residents with the rising Cost of Living
Today we’re launching a new campaign, ‘Here to Help’, along with our community partners to raise awareness of the support that can help those struggling to cope with the rising cost of living.
While the Royal Borough is overall a relatively prosperous place, there are households on low incomes and in fuel poverty, who are most vulnerable to extra cost pressures, especially around food and fuel, and the numbers struggling are likely to increase.
As part of our response, we and our partners are highlighting the local and national support which, depending on individual circumstances, can help those in need to build their personal financial resilience and hopefully avoid the need for crisis support.
As part of our campaign, we’ve brought together support from the council, and our partners, onto one dedicated webpage – and we’re encouraging those struggling financially, having to make difficult decisions around food, rent, heating or other essentials, to visit our Here to Help webpage and contact their landlord and energy supplier to see what help might be available to them. |
