The support hub will provide advice and practical support for local people in financial hardship, making it easier for residents to get the help they need.
The new West Berkshire Cost of Living Hub, which is being created to support those facing financial hardship this winter, is now open to residents.
Local people can find advice and support around cost of living issues with a wealth of information available on the hub website. Staff will also be able to provide advice and match residents’ needs with the support available both nationally and locally, including from local charities and voluntary organisations.
The initiative has been set up by West Berkshire Council in partnership with Greenham Trust and the Volunteer Centre West Berkshire, and will work closely with the local community and voluntary sector.
Ahead of the launch work has been done with partners to map food providers and other voluntary sector support for residents affected by the cost of living, to ensure a comprehensive range of support is available to refer residents to as required.
The hub will be open from Monday-Thursday 8.30-5.00pm and Friday 8.30am-4.30pm.
More information about the hub and an online contact form can be found on the website https://www.westberks.gov.uk/cost-of-living. Enquiries can be submitted at any time via the online form and will be processed during opening hours.
We recommend people make initial contact using the online form so that we can best process and give the right advice to respond to their query, however if necessary people can also call the team on: 01635 503333 or email: costofliving@westberks.gov.uk
