You. Hello. With relation to the question of the week, have you had any help of your local council with the cost of living? I haven't personally, but in my job I have access to food vouchers I can get for people from the local council to help them have food from supermarkets like a voucher. Also in York there is the local WiFi you can apply to for anyone who might be struggling with financial crisis. You don't have to be on benefits, so you could apply to that for food or furniture or things like that. If you have a family with that one, you have to provide your proof of income. Sometimes the council will put on places where you can get free food that anyone can access. I've used that and gone on the council website and found places I can go and collect food from if it's been close to payday and I've been short. Also, you can ring up and ask and find out about Discretionary Housing Payment and other things on the website that don't always let everyone know about. But luckily during my job I get to find out most of that are available for people struggling with the cost of living crisis.
