My money doesn't stretch far enough

Learn who to contact if you are finding it difficult to make ends meet.

You might find that you are struggling to make ends meet because you’re:  

  • having to decide between food, fuel or mobile credit
  • on a low income or zero-hours contract
  • facing redundancy
  • receiving Statutory sick Pay that is too low
  • not sure if you can get any support with money
  • experiencing a change in your family life, such as a new baby, illness or death of a relation
  • other reasons

If this has happened, you can get help and advice from a range of different organisations.

Get a benefit check

If you are struggling with money, you can get a benefit check and speak to an advisor for free and confidential advice.  

A benefit check can make sure that you are receiving all the money that you should, especially if your situation has recently changed.  

Speaking to an advisor could also help you manage your gas and electricity bills and make sure you’re not missing out on things like school clothing grants or free school meals.
