Cost of living support

According to the Office for National Statistics, 91% of adults in Great Britain reported an increase in their cost of living in October-November 2022.

Low-income households spend a larger proportion than average on energy and food, so are more affected by price increases. Food bank charities are reporting an increase in demand: the Trussell Trust reported that in April-September 2022, they provided almost 1.3 million emergency food parcels, a third more than in the same period in 2021 and 50% more than pre-pandemic levels.

Sheffield City Council has put together this toolkit made up of grants, schemes and support resources that can be found online and in the community. The toolkit aims to alleviate some of the burden from frontline workers when signposting and making referrals.
