If you need urgent help with money, food or fuel

Your local council might be able to help if you need urgent help with money, food or fuel.

Each local council has their own service with different rules. The help they offer could include:

  • loans or grants
  • food vouchers
  • fuel vouchers
  • recycled clothes or household items

You need to contact your local council to find out what support they can offer.
