Living Essentials Fund

COMING OCTOBER 2024

Building on our earlier cost-of-living grant-making, we will help charitable organisations to provide crucial ongoing support to people in Oxfordshire, working together to ensure people have the basics needed for living a stable and safe life.

The Living Essentials Fund will support charitable organisations that are helping people with unaffordable essentials such as homelessness, food insecurity and warmth as well as debt advice.

The need in Oxfordshire

We know that the ‘cost-of-living crisis’ has not gone away for many people in our county. Latest figures show:

• 9% of households live in fuel poverty
• 2,091 households are homeless
• 10.5% of children live in low income families
