Leicestershire County Council Cost of Living Support

About this service

Leicestershire County Council’s cost of living support page brings together practical help for residents who are feeling the pressure of rising bills and everyday costs. It includes information about crisis and resilience help, food and fuel support, holiday activity funding, community fridges, warm homes support, transport help, grants, skills and employment support, local area co-ordinators, First Contact Plus and library services. It can be a helpful starting point if you are not sure where to turn and want one official place to explore support available across the county.
