New £50m support for Essex residents to help with the cost of living
The plans include £17 million of government cash to help households pay for insulation and other energy saving improvements at home, a community led ‘winter warmth and welcome’ campaign to provide local places for winter warmth over the coming months, including a grant scheme to help groups fund activities, and additional funding to help vulnerable people with essential costs.
The full range of the £50m support is outlined in the Council’s Cost of Living Support for Households and Communities Plan Cost of Living Support which aims to help those needing immediate support.
