As the cost of food and household items continues to rise, many residents may be struggling to afford essential items.
Help is available in these circumstances. Already the Knowsley Better Together Hardship Fund has provided essential help and support to residents. This is on top of the Household Support Fund which has been prioritised for families with children and pensioners.
Through these funds more than £9 million has been passed on to Knowsley residents to ensure they can continue to afford household essentials including food and other supplies. This support continues.
In Knowsley a number of local organisations can provide support to people who may be struggling to afford food for themselves or their families. This support is available in all areas of the borough and includes foodbanks, social supermarkets and other community groups and organisations.
Essential Boxes – including food items, drinks, etc
