Money advice

In 2023/24, we helped 986 Regenda residents secure an additional £1.8 million in benefits and grants. This was money that they did not know they were entitled to and was used to improve lives and sustain tenancies.

Of the £1.8 million:

  • £632,000 was in Housing Benefit awards
  • £550,000 was in Universal Credit awards
  • £240,000 was in disability and sickness benefits
  • £130,000 was awarded towards Council Tax Support
  • £183,000 was in state pension and pension credit awards

We also secured grants for our customers worth £16,000.
