Are you, like so many others, struggling to manage financially?
You are not
alone, and we have a small, but committed team at the Council who are here to
try and help with financial support and advice.
If you’re on a
low income, or getting certain benefits, assistance could be available from the
Scottish Welfare Fund.
Under the Fund,
two types of grant are available - Crisis Grants (one-off payments) and
Community Care Grants (helping people leaving care to live on their own, or to
stay in their own home or to help folk facing exceptional pressures and needing
essential household items).
Further
information is available on www.mygov.scot/scottish-welfare-fund.
If you wish to
discuss if you are eligible for help via the Scottish Welfare Fund contact
Orkney Islands Council on 01856 886312 or email SWF@Orkney.gov.uk.
