Households struggling with the cost of living are being given information by North Yorkshire County Council to help cope with the pressures on their finances.
Information has been collated by the county council for schemes run by the authority as well as other organisations offering help such as emergency hardship funds or energy-saving support.
A new web page on the internet signposts residents in the county to places where they can receive free support or advice, as well as details of schemes which can help people save money.
The cost of living webpage, which can be found at www.northyorks.gov.uk/cost-living-support, also contains information for families needing to access free wi-fi for children’s school work, or people looking to save money on their commute by signing up to a liftshare scheme. Details of childcare funding and where to find debt or benefits advice are also included.
North Yorkshire County Council’s executive member for corporate services, Cllr David Chance, said:
“We are aware that the cost of living is presently at the forefront of many people’s minds in North Yorkshire.
“To this end we have brought together details of schemes and assistance available from across the council, as well as details of other organisations who may be able to help people in immediate financial crisis.
“This includes organisations who can provide professional advice on debt, help with the cost of food and heating bills, as well as details of funding schemes to help meet the cost of insulating homes.”
