Calderdale Council have produced a new leaflet to help people with money worries. You can download a copy below:
Calderdale’s Worry About Money Leaflet
Here is some of the content:
SUPPORT OPTIONS
Council Support Schemes
People on low incomes may be able to get Housing Benefit, Discretionary Housing Payments and council tax support from the council. This will depend on your current circumstances.
Find out more at: www.calderdale.gov.uk/benefits
Maximise Your Income
Anyone who is struggling financially can get a benefit check and speak to an advisor for free and confidential advice. A benefit check can ensure that you are receiving all the money you’re entitled to, especially if your circumstances have changed recently. Speaking to an advisor could also help you with managing gas and electricity bills and make sure you’re not missing out on things like free school meals.
Debt Advice
Debt can happen to anyone. Free advice and support can help you find ways to manage your debts and reduce how much you pay each month.
