A Message from our CEO

 

Thank you to those who visited us at the RISE Expo event - we really enjoyed seeing you all!  And welcome to all our new subscribers who signed up at the event.

We are starting to get more enquiries about the cost of living crisis.  These are worrying times for everyone and we understand that you may be feeling very anxious about your personal situation.  We have produced a guide to give you some ideas but our team is on hand to give you individual advice so please get in touch with us.

 

Are you worried about rising costs?

If the current cost of living crisis is worrying you and you're finding that rising everyday costs are becoming unmanageable, it is important that you seek help as soon as possible to assist you with regaining control of your finances.  Our advisors are able to work with you on a one-to-one basis to help you find solutions that work for you, so please get in touch with us.

 

We have also produced a downloadable guide to give you some ideas and advice on actions you could take to improve your personal situation.  You can find this in the 'Self-help Information' section of our website.  We will be adding more information to this Resource section in the coming months, so please check back to find guides to help with all aspects of living with a disability or long-term health condition. 

 

Please note that the first of the Government's cost of living payments will start being paid from 14th July onwards for those who receive means-tested benefits.
