  • Cost of living crisis support booklet

    Published 27/01/23

    'Inflation is soaring, hitting hardworking people across Erith and Thamesmead. Food, fuel, and household bills are up, but wages and benefits are not keeping apace.

    People are worried about how they will pay their bills, especially with the astronomical prices energy companies are expected to charge.

    I know people are scared about getting through the winter. While there’s lots of advice out there, it’s not always in one place.

    So, I have tried to gather information about all the agencies, organisations and charities that are out there and can provide you with help, information and support for managing your bills. I hope the information in this booklet will be useful to you, and as ever, please do get in contact if I can be of help.'
