If you are affected by the Cost of Living crisis, or if you are part of a group that is offering help and support locally, please look at https://www.caritasbrentwood.org/cost-of-living/. You can add to this webpage by contacting the Director of Caritas Diocese of Brentwood, Siân Thomas-Cullinan on caritas@dioceseofbrentwood.org
I would like to thank the parishes that shared the good work that is happening in their local areas to support all those during these colder months. You can find what has been shared so far on the Caritas website https://www.caritasbrentwood.org/cost-of-living/
It is costing more for us to power our homes and businesses. GoCompare have developed an interactive energy cost calculator tool to find out how much something costs to run. Use the calculator below to pick the appliances you want to compare and select how long they’ll be in use for.
