The rising cost of living continues to affect households across Manchester, with many residents facing increasing pressure from rising food prices, energy bills and everyday living costs.
We know that things are challenging at the moment, which is why our dedicated Money Matters Team continues to provide support, guidance and practical help to residents who may be struggling financially.
Last year, the team helped residents save more than £695,000 through financial support, benefits advice, grants, budgeting assistance and access to additional funding.
Alongside this, around £150,000 in support funding has also been distributed to residents most affected by the ongoing cost of living pressures.
