Citizens Advice Help Through Hardship
National helpline giving foodbank referrals and practical support to people who cannot afford food.
Nothing you say on the call is unusual to the adviser, and you do not have to have your paperwork in order to ring.
About this service
Help Through Hardship is a Citizens Advice helpline for people who do not have enough money for food or essential bills. An adviser talks through your situation, can issue a foodbank referral where that is the right next step, and looks at whether there is income, a benefit or a payment you are missing out on. The call is free and confidential, runs on a freephone number, and often ends with both immediate help and a plan for the following weeks.
How they can help you
Combines an emergency foodbank referral with advice on the money problems that caused the crisis.
What to expect
An adviser will ask about your household, income and outgoings, then explain what immediate help and longer-term options are open to you.
Who it's for
Anyone in England, including Bognor Regis residents, who cannot afford food or essentials right now.
