These are tough times for our local community.

The following booklet has been produced to signpost residents to local help and support during the cost-of-living crisis.

I have put together a wide range of contacts with relation to the cost-of-living crisis that may be useful to you and your family.

In this booklet, there is a range of services from voluntary organisations, charities, the local authority and government schemes that may be able to offer help, advice and support.
