With the cost of living crisis biting, we appreciate that it’s a difficult time for many. At Coastline we have a friendly Income Management Team to support you with your finances.
If you would like to look at maximising your income, think about budgeting, or need support to pay your rent or bills, please reach out to the Income Team on My Coastline or contact us in any of the usual ways.
Help with Food
Don’t forget we can refer you to your nearest foodbank if you find yourself in need. There are also lots of community larders and other food sources located around Cornwall, where you can go along to take what you need. Cornwall Council has put together an interactive map of where these are located, this includes options where you can get a hot meal for free or small donation, as well as accessing things that are good to eat but near their sell by date.
Sustainability Fund
At Coastline we hold a Sustainability Fund that customers can apply to in a crisis. By meeting criteria, providing expenditure details and being willing to work with our Tenancy Sustainment Team, we may be able to help. The fund has supported many customers so far. Please contact us for more details.
Debts
Are you struggling with debt and unsure where to turn? There are debt charities where specialists will discuss your options with you. Step Change is a charity we refer many customers to, with support provided online or over the phone.
Community Energy Plus
Are you struggling with your energy costs? Community Energy Plus is on hand to offer support and guidance to ensure you and your home stay warm. They have access to funding to support if you are on a low income or elderly, but support is open to everyone who needs it. You can contact them on 0800 954 1956 or visit their website.
These are just a few of the ways we can help. Find more information about all of them on our financial support and wellbeing pages.
