Financial Hardship / Financial Inclusion Drop In's

90 Pier Avenue, CO15 1NJ
Tendring District Council are committed to helping residents who are experiencing financial hardship or financial inclusion. We recognise the devastating effects financial difficulties can have and are here to provide support and advice to those that need it. Increasing energy prices, rising costs of living, stagnating wages and reduced benefits have seen increasing numbers of households experience financial hardship. We are here to provide support, either directly, or through our partners by signposting our vulnerable and low-income residents.
