Places and People who can help

There are lots of community groups and organisations that can offer help with the cost of living. Many of these provide their help for free or very low cost.

You can find out more in the Community directory.

You can find lots of practical help with eating well, keeping well and staying warm this winter. If you are struggling, remember you are not alone, this is a very difficult time for many of us. There are lots of places who can offer support, especially if you are feeling low.

Help for Households

The Help for Households campaign brings together over 40 support schemes that you may be able to access depending on eligibility. There are also online tools for you to check the support you might be eligible for and how to access it.

You can access our interactive map which shares free and affordable events taking place. If you have any events you would like to include share your events by completing a short form (opens in new window).
