Emergency and crisis support

If you are in an emergency and require crisis support for food or utilities, you may be eligible to apply for support under the Local Welfare Assistance scheme. It's designed to help vulnerable local individuals and families who have exceptional one-off difficulties, providing you're receiving or would be entitled to receive a means tested benefit or state pension.
