Cost of Living Crisis

What is the Cost of Living Crisis?

It is a difficult time for everybody right now. The rising cost of everything, from groceries to utilities, is making it difficult to make ends
meet. This is being referred to as a ‘Cost of Living Crisis’.

This does not mean that you have to be in crisis to be struggling, and it is affecting all of us, not just the lowest earners.

Take a look at the Cost of Living support which has been put together, there might be something here that helps you get through it – and
keep checking back, we’ll be adding new content regularly.

Warm Spaces Directory – Cost of Living Bradford

Warm Spaces are places where people can gather for free in a warm, safe, welcoming place and maybe enjoy a hot drink and some company.

Community Action Bradford & District, City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, and Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership (Act as One) have worked alongside voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to establish a network of Warm Spaces throughout the district this winter. These include libraries, community centres, church halls, sports clubs and other places promising a warm welcome to anyone struggling to heat their home. Warm Spaces are totally free to use and will provide a warm welcome to all. Some venues will offer hot drinks, activities and other services such as free Wi-Fi. Warm Spaces will be heated, safe, friendly, neutral places where you can comfortably spend time reading, studying or chatting with others. You can search the directory to find Warm Spaces near you and their opening times at the Cost of Living website.
