Cost of living

The cost of living is hitting people hard and Bolton Council, together with its partner organisations, have joined forces to help those in need with specific help with food, fuel, and money.

We have always offered a wide variety of support services for those struggling with their finances, but as prices continue to rise an increasing number of home owners and local businesses are finding it hard to make ends meet.
