Cost of living: Help is at hand

We know the cost-of-living crisis is having a real impact on lots of our tenants at the moment, and with the colder months and the expense of Christmas just around the corner, we know people are worried. Whether you are claiming benefits, working, or doing both, lots of people are telling us things are tough.

Our Financial Inclusion team is helping tenants with food bank vouchers, applying for energy grants,  accessing benefits and other money. In fact, in the last year the team have accessed £4 million in additional benefits for tenants. In the majority of cases people tell us “I didn’t think you would be able to help” but we definitely can, and the impact on people’s wellbeing and quality of life is huge.

Often the biggest step is getting in touch. Some may feel embarrassed or too proud and just battle on without help. Our team are here with no judgement. Support is available, and we want tenants to access it. Even if you aren’t struggling yourself but know a tenant who is, please encourage them to get in touch.
