Directory of support available during cost of living crisis

The provision of a "one stop shop" directory of all support available during the cost of living crisis has been welcomed.

The directory was compiled by Derry City and Strabane District Council on foot of a motion brought forward by Cllr Emmet Doyle (Aontú).

Cllr Doyle said the directory would also include information on the locations of warm banks.

He added: "In November last year we passed an Aontú motion at Council to establish warm banks across the district but also to produce a digital and physical directory of all available support for those who may need it during the current cost of living crisis.

"I’m delighted this has now been produced and includes information on advice providers, warm bank locations and providers of support from Culmore to Castlederg. 

"These directories can be downloaded from https://www.derrystrabane.com/helpwithcostofliving but crucially they are also available physically at any Council community centre, leisure facility or at Council offices in Strand Road and Derry Road.

"I hope that these directories will help people identify the supports available to them but of course my party colleagues across the city remain a source of advice should anyone need it.”
