Help with the cost of living

Information for Torbay residents who are struggling to pay for their energy, water, food, or other essential items.

Access to Benefits claims is currently unavailable via My Torbay.

We are working to resolve the issue and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We understand the rise in the cost of living is making things hard for households. We want to support our residents to the best of our abilities. If you need advice or urgent help, it’s out there and the sooner you seek it, the better.

This help could come directly from us, our other local partners and government schemes and programmes. There is a lot of information on the Help for Households website, which has details of benefits and grants available as well as discounts and promotions for national retailers.

As part of the Help for Households campaign, search for thousands of free and affordable events happening across Torbay and further afield using this interactive map. From free art exhibitions to family activities at your local library, use the map to see what’s on.
