The emergency assistance scheme being expanded by Havering Council focuses on providing support to those facing hardship due to the rising cost of living, especially pensioners.
Council leader Ray Morgon emphasized that the objective is to streamline financial help, reducing the burden of applications for the most vulnerable groups, ensuring swift support.
The initiative also includes extending the warm spaces program in community areas, aimed at supporting older individuals feeling the repercussions of cuts to winter fuel payments.
Additionally, the council offers a free energy doctors service to help households decrease energy expenses through advice and necessary home repairs.
