Cost of Living Help

These are still very difficult times for many people and it is important for those who need help to know where to go for support.   If you think you may be entitled to benefits or payments that you do not receive, please get in touch with Citizens Advice who can help work out whether or not you are receiving all the help that you should be.   

Another source of help is the South Hams District Council Household Support Fund which is available to provide rapid short-term financial support to help those who are struggling to afford food, energy and water bills, and other related essentials this year.  The scheme runs until September 2024 and you can apply using this link https://southhams.gov.uk/household-support-fund

South Devon Community Energy is also a good source of information and they can give you free energy advice https://www.sdce.org.uk/projects/energy-support-in-the-south-hams/
