Energy and benefits

Your water company and energy company will have a priority services register. Eligible customers can join the register to access extra assistance, particularly during a supply emergency.

Wokingham Borough Council has set up a Cost of Living Hub to signpost you to advice and support through the ongoing cost of living crisis.

You can call Citizens Advice Wokingham on 0808 278 7958 for friendly advice on benefits, bills, or other advice about the challenges you may be facing.

See these websites for other local help options:

• Apply for the Household Support Grant to help pay for essentials like bills and food
• Get help with food

Other people around you may need extra support during cold weather. Do keep in touch with them and ask whether they are feeling well or need any practical help. For information on how you can help others in the borough, see this page on the Council website.
