Tandridge District Council Launches Cost of Living Support Scheme

Tandridge District Council is funding the scheme, which last ran in January, to support residents with the cost of living.

Applications for household grants of up to £250 are due to open for residents in part of Surrey.

The scheme is worth a total of £150,000 and applications will be processed on a first come, first served basis.

Successful applicants will receive a one-off payment, with the soonest payment date at the end of November.

Households without children can apply for £150, while those with under 18s can apply for £250.

Tandridge District Council said it aimed to provide support to those who needed help the most.

Applications close on 31 December at the latest.

Residents can apply online, external or by phone from 10:00 GMT on 9 November.

People who apply by phone will have to take their bank statements to the council's offices in Oxted.

Other authorities in the county offer their own cost of living support.

Residents can also access information and advice through the BBC Surrey website, social media channels, and local libraries.

Tandridge District Council is committed to helping those affected by the cost of living crisis.
