This May, let’s break the stigma around mental health.

Talking about it saves lives, strengthens communities, and creates space for healing.

Your feelings matter. Your story matters.

💬 **Cost of Living Support to Continue in Oxfordshire** 💬

Good news for residents across Oxfordshire. Support with **food, energy, household essentials and financial advice** is set to continue under a new three‑year programme.

OOxfordshire County Councilis preparing to approve the scheme, funded through the government’s **Crisis and Resilience Fund**.

This replaces the previous Household Support Fund and will provide around **£5.12 million each year** to help people who are struggling.

Because the funding is guaranteed for three years, the council can move away from one‑off payments and focus on **more targeted support** that meets immediate needs while also helping to build long‑term financial resilience.
