Continued support to residents through the Cost of Living Crisis

This briefing looks at the successes of the Council’s Cost of Living (COL) programme in 2023/24 and how we made the best use of resources to respond to the needs of residents with compassion and efficiency.

It also looks ahead at how we will continue to provide help to those that need it in 2024/25, including through the use of the latest round of Household Support Fund (HSF), which has been extended by a further six months until 30 September 2024.
