£700k package of support planned to help with the cost of living
Community grants, improved benefit advice and ways to cut down on energy bills are set to target Notts residents most in need.
A new package of support is planned by Nottinghamshire County Council to help those most affected by rising household bills.
Vulnerable residents and those on a low income are at the heart of these plans which aim to be put in place before Christmas. The support includes:
- £450K worth of targeted grants for voluntary groups and community organisations to help them continue their vital work in the community.
- £100k to expand the benefits team to be able to offer more one-to-one cost of living advice.
- £150k investment to provide more expert advice to improve energy efficiency in the home and to help cut down on bills.
