We know how tough things are at the moment, especially with the very large increases to the cost of living we are experiencing.

Because of this we have launched the Cost of Living Grants Programme. This programme is designed to allow us to assist people who need help in a quick and easy way with everyday essentials such as kitchen appliances, clothes, and some furniture.

Please note we cannot provide any ongoing support.

This programme is open to anyone who is eligible for our support struggling to pay for items and services they need. And you can apply online the below link. We aim to assess your application within 5 days of submission.

If you need help with one of the following areas or if you need a decision in less than 5 days, please contact our contact centre via the details here.

• Mobility equipment or adaptations
• Help with a rental deposit or moving costs
• Assistance to pay off debts
• Visa and Immigration fees
• If you have a very urgent need, for example have no access to food, energy or clothing.
