Cost of Living Project
As the number of residents struggling to pay for food and other essentials continues to increase, we’re partnering with Wandsworth Council to support residents affected by the cost of living crisis.
How we can help
Our Cost of Living Project can help with:
- Immediate need for food and essentials, by referring to community food support and making applications for discretionary council grants.
- Increasing income, by identifying entitlement to cost of living payments as well as other benefits and support.
- Reducing expenditure, by advising about budgeting and energy efficiency.
- Resolving underlying issues, for instance the benefit cap, bedroom tax and unmanaged debts.
Our approach is contained in our cost of living checklist, a resource that’s open to everyone and that we’ll keep up-to-date for the duration of the project.
