Fife Council: Help with the cost of living

The rise in the cost of living is really hitting but there’s more help out there than you might think.

Trying to find out what you’re entitled to, what support is on offer and where to get it can be really confusing. 

That’s why, along with our community partners we’ve just launched a new website where you can access a huge range of support, all in one place.

With useful information, advice and contact details our.fife.scot/gethelp links to support with energy bills, food, benefits, the family, and home, as well as health and wellbeing, so you should be able to find help that’s right for you. 

There’s also an online benefit checker -so you can make sure you are getting everything you’re entitled to.

Updated - Armed Forces Covenant Duty Statutory Guidance

 

Please click image to enlarge

The Covenant Duty will come into force on 22 November 2022. The Duty is supported by Statutory Guidance to help in-scope bodies understand what is required of them under the new Covenant Duty.

What is the new Armed Forces Covenant Duty?

The new Covenant Duty is a legal obligation on certain public bodies to ‘have due regard’ to the principles of the Covenant, and requires decisions about the development and delivery of certain services to be made with conscious consideration of the needs of the Armed Forces community.

Who does the new Duty affect?

The new legal obligation impacts organisations that are responsible for delivering principally statutory functions in healthcare, education, and housing services. The Armed Forces community will be affected as beneficiaries of the new Duty.
