South Hams District Council is offering financial support for those who might struggle this winter.

South Hams residents experiencing financial hardship can now get help with paying essential bills through the Government’s new Household Support Fund.

The fund is designed to provide rapid short-term financial support for people who don’t have enough money to buy essentials like food or pay for heating.

Anyone over 16 years old in the South Hams could be eligible.
