Welcome to our 2024 advent calendar of kindness, warmth, wellness and community spirit! Each day until Christmas we will be sharing info on how to help one another stay safe and well.
Winter’s colder temperatures can place extra strain on household budgets, often leading to anxiety that affects both physical and mental wellbeing.
Over the winter months the council is signposting to a range of useful advice and information through its social media channels and website: https://www.costoflivingwarwickshire.co.uk/
Launched in 2022 www.costoflivingwarwickshire.co.uk/ was designed as a one-stop shop for practical and financial advice from county, district and borough councils and other partners.
Recognising that many households continue to struggle with household costs and other seasonal challenges, the website continues to be updated, helping residents navigate information and assist public services to signpost and advise those needing support.
The Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme can help the county’s most vulnerable residents at times of unavoidable crisis when they have no other options. Support is prioritised to items necessary for day to day living such as food, energy, and water and for those who may not be eligible for the other support the government has recently made available.
