Sixteen local charities have grouped together to offer a range of support

Local charities in Northern Ireland have grouped together to launch a one-stop support service for the many impacts of the cost of living crisis.

Areas of support include advice on benefits and entitlements, access to foodbanks and community and voluntary services, help with affordable childcare, fuel poverty, child poverty and housing. Services are offered to meet the needs of anyone struggling due to the cost of living, regardless of age, location or background and include those offered by Age NI, Carers NI and Disability Action.

"We also know that people are often ashamed or afraid to ask. Cost of Living 24 is intended to be a single point of information on the support available to anyone struggling to make ends meet.” “As a group of charities, we want people to know that they’re not alone in trying to cope – help is available. We have brought this together on the community wellbeing online hub as our experience of working in partnership during the pandemic showed the power of pulling together. We all want to ensure that people in difficulty can find local community support and services when they need them most.
