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.
