Check GOV.UK’s benefits and financial support pages to see whether you might qualify for help, including benefits, energy support or help with housing costs. Your local council may also offer emergency support, council tax reductions, food assistance or other schemes, although availability varies by area. Citizens Advice can explain what support you may be entitled to and help you apply. If money worries include debt, contact MoneyHelper, StepChange or National Debtline for free guidance, and consider advice from an FCA-authorised provider before paying for debt services.
