Cost-of-living support

/in News/by Adam Bernstein

Residents are encouraged to come along to a series of cost-of-living roadshows offering support and advice on managing household costs.

In recent years, the cost-of-living crisis has become a cost-of-living reality for many residents across South Oxfordshire and the Vale of White Horse.

From May to December this year, the Community Hub Team from South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils will be visiting local community organisations across the districts on their cost-of-living roadshow.

Council officers will be on hand to provide advice on housing support, energy and heating grants, and other ways to help manage household costs.

The roadshows also give residents a chance to share feedback to the councils and help shape future support and services.

The first stops on the roadshow will be:

  • Thursday 28 May, 2.30-4pm at Church Hall, St. Peter & St Paul’s Church, 81 West Way OX2 9JY
  • Wednesday 15 July, 2-4pm at Vale Community Impact Pop-Up Café (Petypher House), Kingston Bagpuize OX13 5FR

Members of the public are welcome to drop in to the roadshow venues at any time, no bookings are required. More dates and locations will be announced over the summer, including future events in South Oxfordshire, with details being shared on the councils’ social media platforms and websites.

There’s more information about the cost-of-living support available on the council’s website (South/Vale) and the Community Hub team can be contacted by calling 01235 422600 or email .
