Support available to you this Winter

Our Money Advice Team is urging customers to find out if they can utilise any additional support this winter.

The team has put together some important information on the Household Support Fund, Pension Credit and warm spaces.

Find out more below.


Household Support Fund

Your local council might be able to help you with essential costs, such as energy and water bills, food and essential items.

Food vouchers may also be available to families during the school holidays.

You don’t have to be getting benefits to receive support from your local council, but each local authority decides how to run its own scheme, so you’ll need to find out what support is available to you.

To find out more, visit the .Gov website.


Pension Credit

Pension Credit provides you with extra money to help with your living costs if you’re over State Pension age and on a low income.

It can also help you with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.

If you’re on Pension Credit, you may then also qualify for the Winter Fuel Allowance payment.

To find out if you’re eligible for Pension Credit, visit the .Gov website.


Warm Welcome Spaces

The Warm Welcome campaign wants everyone in the UK to find a place of belonging and reconnection at a Warm Welcome Space near their home.

To find out more about Warm Welcome Spaces, and to find your nearest one, visit their website.
