GLA Cost of Living Hub
The GLA's cost of Living Hub has been developed to help Londoners access a wide range of information and advice including how to claim benefits that they are entitled to, help dealing with debt, financial management and mental health support.

Help With the Cost of Living
We are living in difficult times, where the price of energy, food and bills are all rising steeply. Many Londoners are struggling to keep up with the cost of living. If you’re struggling with money, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone and there are people and organisations that can support you.
This Hub contains information about benefits, grants and discounts you can get if you’re in financial difficulty, from the Mayor of London, the government, your local council, charities and advice centres. The information might be relevant for you, or you might want to share it with someone you know.
