Most local authorities have been provided with a Household Support Fund to help those most in need. Depending on your eligibility criteria, you may be entitled to food parcels, help with purchasing essential household items, and help to cover utility costs or debts.
In West Sussex, if you are in an emergency situation and have less than three days’ food or medicine, you can call West Sussex Community Hub on 033 022 27980.
Otherwise, please check what support your local council can offer online by visiting: www.gov.uk/cost-living-help-local-council.
