Cost of living helpline

Freephone 0808 175 3379 line open 10am and 3pm Monday to Friday.

We know that many people in Blackpool and across the country are worried about the cost of living and the impact on their lives.

Blackpool Council along with partners and volunteers have pulled together some information to ensure that you can access the help and support you need. You can find advice with food and essentials, community centres activities, help with housing if you are struggling with accommodations costs, and contacts to talk to someone for emotional and practical help.

If you can't find what you are looking for on our cost of living directory pages you can call the helpline and one of our voluntary organisation partners will help you.
