Who could help during the festive season?

Celebrating over the festive season amid the cost-of-living crisis is unquestionably making what can be a stressful time of year for some even more stress filled.  We understand that many are worried about when their benefits come in, and know that post-pandemic many people are battling with their mental well-being.

We know that food insecurity is an issue for many families and information on where to access free hot meals or foodbank is available here. Fear about how to meet bills or keep warm is genuine. If you have issues during the festive season when many organisations are working reduced hours, who should you contact?

There is help available, and the Association has pulled together several information sheets with practical advice concerning where to get food, how to keep well and other everyday advice on keeping warm and when benefits will be issued. They are available throughout this site behind the bright blue button on our home page or from your Housing Officer or Key Project worker.
