Online hub to help residents access cost of living support and advice
Posted on : 05 Sep 2022
Caerphilly County Borough Council has produced a series of web pages to help local people access support during the cost-of-living crisis.
The online Cost of Living Hub includes information on grants to help with fuel bills, advice on reducing bills, information on benefits and what to do in a crisis, help available for families, where to get mental health support and links to community organisations and charities that can help.
Cllr Sean Morgan, Leader of Caerphilly County Borough Council said,
Following what has been a tough few years for residents, the cost-of-living crisis is another test of the resolve and determination of our communities.
Our residents have told us that they need our help to get through the winter. We have already put some important measures in place, and now have made all this useful information available in one place on our website so that everyone who needs support knows where to find it.
We understand that these schemes may be difficult to understand – for that reason, we will be hosting roadshows across the county borough throughout September that you can attend to discuss your eligibility face to face with officers from the council and partner organisations, including Citizens Advice.
Our staff will support you with any questions you have, determine your eligibility, and support you with completing any applications necessary.
I reassure you - that your local authority will work to support you through this difficult time.”
If you are unable to attend one of our roadshows or are unsure as to what support, you are eligible for please contact the Caerphilly Cares team by calling 01443 811490 or by emailing caerphillycares@caerphilly.gov.uk
