The government must do more to tackle this cost of living crisis. But until they do, here are some things you can do if you can't afford your bills right now: 1 - Check if you can claim benefits to help with your living costs. 2 - Get food from a local food bank or community fridge. 3 - Find out if you should be getting social care. 4 - Speak to your energy supplier. Most have schemes for people who are struggling to pay their bills. 5 - Use the @scopecharity energy advice service - they can give advice on managing energy bills and switching suppliers.
