Do you need support with the Cost of Living or help keeping warm this winter?

Hertfordshire County Council has created a website to help you manage the Cost of Living.  Help and advice is also available by calling the Council on 0300 123 4042.

The Council offers a Money Advice Unit which provides debt and benefits advice, housing and a budgeting calculator.

An online warm spaces directory has been created for Hertfordshire, which helps you find libraries, family centres and community spaces that are offering free, safe, warm places in our communities.

There is also a guide to local Food banks that can help if you can’t afford the food you need. You’ll usually need to get a referral to a food bank before you can use it, so you can ask your nearest Citizens Advice or an organisation that’s already supporting you – for example, a charity, school or children’s centre.
