Anyone reaching pensionable age by 30 September 2022 who lives in the county council area can apply for support. Financial support can be provided within a few days as well as help to find longer-term support to maximise and manage their finances. Those seeking support should apply to Age UK CAP on 01223 221929 or email [email protected] Councillor Tom Sanderson, Chair of Cambridgeshire County Council’s Communities, Social Mobility and Inclusion Committee, said: “The rapidly rising cost of living is understandably a source of considerable anxiety to many – especially coming so soon after the pandemic and its effect on the economy and household budgets. “We are using the Household Support Fund to try and make sure that those most in need in our county receive support. If you know a pensioner who might benefit, please encourage them to apply.” More information can be found at |
