Cost of living help
The rising cost of living is affecting people living throughout Wiltshire. Many residents and communities, including those who have not faced financial challenge before, are impacted by rising food, heating, housing, and transport costs.
In response, Wessex Community Action have launched a Cost of Living Help campaign, where voluntary and community groups and community focussed organisations can share the support, advice and information available.
Our aim is for people to quickly and easily find relevant and local, information and support by including what is available via Wiltshire Together, the single online space for the public, social prescribers, volunteers, voluntary and community groups and health and social care professional to use.
Find available food banks, community fridges, warmth spaces, advice and locations for safety, energy and money advice, support for mental wellbeing, grant information and more.

This campaign is likely to be the resource used by Wiltshire Council’s “Wellbeing Hub” for directing enquiries received.
