A HELPING HAND WHEN YOU NEED IT

We have seen temperatures plummeting in recent weeks, rising energy costs and the loss of the winter fuel payment for many. This combination of factors could make for some challenging months ahead. Whether you have a family, are over 60, a person with a disability or health condition, out of work, a carer, or simply looking to cut back on your everyday energy bills, advice is available. Take a look at the Welfare Hub webpage on the County Council’s website to find financial support, welfare and health and wellbeing sections to explore. A Chat Bot to guide you through support relevant to you is also available, should you prefer. Vital support could be just a click away. Phone 0300 200 1008 (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays) to reach the Community Helpline and access this guidance and support too.
