You are not alone

With Harrogate Borough Council

We know times are hard at the moment as day-to-day costs go up and will continue to do so for some time.

There is local support available to you if your financial situation has changed and you need help with household payments, debts or living costs.

We've launched a new website page that lists financial help and support available from ourselves and our partners. As well as advice on keeping warm and making your home as energy efficient as possible.

If you require support for any of our services and wish to speak to someone you can call us on 01423 500600.

A useful leaflet produced by Northern Powergrid, Northern Gas Networks and Yorkshire Water has been produced to show you how to save money on your electricity, gas and water, as well as how to reduce waste and stay safe at home this winter.

The Energy Savings Trust also has information on how to reduce your carbon emissions and lower your energy bills. So, whether that involves being more energy efficient, generating your own renewable energy, switching to a green tariff or insulating your home to keep the heat in, they've got advice and information to help.
