Latest news
The Board recently allocated £100,000 to a programme of work to tackle a range of potential impacts of the current cost of living crisis. The programme aims to mitigate or reduce these impacts by:
- Improved resilience to the impact of rises in the cost of living within the East Suffolk population
- Improved mental health and wellbeing for residents by a reduction in anxiety and stress
- Fewer people reaching the point of extreme, costly interventions e.g. home repossession or eviction due to non-payment of rent/mortgage
- Reduced social isolation and loneliness
The work will focus on four key areas for action:
- Money
- Food and Essentials
- Energy and Fuel
- Housing
