Money advice
Last year, we helped 986 Regenda residents get an extra £1.8 million in benefits and grants. This was money they didn’t know they could get. It helped people stay in their homes and improve their lives (2023/2024).
Here’s where the money came from:
-
£632,000 in Housing Benefit
-
£550,000 in Universal Credit
-
£240,000 in disability and sickness support
-
£130,000 in Council Tax Support
-
£183,000 in state pension and pension credit
-
£16,000 in extra grants
We’re proud to help people get the support they need.
