If you are living in Barking & Dagenham and experiencing financial hardship, there are a wide range of local services and support programmes available to help you manage essential living costs, including food, housing, and energy bills.

These services are delivered through a combination of the council, voluntary sector organisations, and national schemes designed to support residents during periods of financial pressure.

At Basch Helps, we understand that when you need help, you often need it quickly and without confusion.
