Welfare Support Scheme

The Welfare Support Scheme provides B&NES residents with short-term, emergency help with living costs. We cannot provide cash or loans, but may offer you vouchers or help you to buy essential items, refer you to charity support, or temporarily contribute towards travel, housing, or living costs.

Welfare Support can help with funding for daily living needs and other living needs, council tax support, furniture and household goods, travel, and help to secure new housing.
