Cost of living grant launched

In light of the unfolding cost of living crisis JCS are offering a one-off grant to low-income household and individuals who are struggling.  Households with no contingency i.e. no savings and no means to economise can apply.

The Minimum Income Tool will be used to calculate eligibility as it independently calculated and takes into account the income needed to maintain a decent standard of living, and not just basic necessities.  Applicants for the grant will also be asked to provide information about their income and expenditure to ensure that we can evidence need and appropriate use of funding, as well as to ensure that people are accessing all support that they are entitled to.  Our team will work closely with applicants to support households to more sustainable solutions where these aren’t already being accessed.

All enquiries and applications are handled by our staff team in confidence and will be treated with respect and discretion.
