Help with the cost of living

The cost of living is continuing to make things difficult for many people across Gateshead.

We've brought together information and advice to help families and individuals, whether you're working or not. This includes details of payments and benefits that you may be eligible for, who to contact for support and how to save money on your food and energy bills. To get help claiming benefits and other discounts you might be entitled to, visit Money Max.

We have also created a network of warm spaces across Gateshead. These are places you can go where you'll be welcomed without judgement and treated with dignity and respect.

Money Max can help you boost your income by claiming benefits and other discounts that you might be entitled to.
£3.6 million is available each year to support Gateshead's low-income households up to 31 March 2029.
