Autumn Cost of Living support for families
Rising household costs can make it harder for families to manage their money and enjoy the autumn months without spending more than they can afford.
This social media toolkit includes low-cost autumn activities to try, budget-friendly ways to eat well and information about financial support available to residents across South Gloucestershire.
There is also information on free school meals and the Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF), as well as details of our Eat and Heat information events in November.
For information about financial support, advice and local services, visit our dedicated cost of living website at southglos.gov.uk/costofliving
Our One Stop Shops in Kingswood, Yate and Patchway are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4.30pm. Residents can also call the council’s freephone helpline on 0800 953 7778.

Some also offer hot drinks, activities and information about financial support and saving energy. Find your nearest Community Welcome Space at southglos.gov.uk/community-welcome-spaces
