We know this winter will be a challenging time for residents across Oxfordshire.

As a county council, we’ve introduced a number of initiatives to help local people – particularly the vulnerable – as they face the combination of inflation and the rising cost of energy. More information about these can be found on our website. https://news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cost-of-living-help/

But on a practical level, we recognise that for many, it’s hard to know where to turn – and they need support in knowing whether they need local, county or even national advice.

We’re working with city and district councils to help signpost residents – so they can access the services and organisations that can help.
