Hastings Older People Financial Wellbeing (360G-IndAge-GPR-00000076)

Funding will support a partnership between Age UK East Sussex (AUKES) and Care for the Carers (CFTC) to provide support older people in financial hardship in Hastings, focusing on private renters and carers. Support will include benefit applications, cost reduction through energy schemes, and housing support. AUKES will provide advice sessions, outreach, and scams awareness, while CFTC will run Winter Warmer events offering energy-saving resources and guidance. The partnership will target high-need wards in the area, build relationships with landlords, and work with local authorities to prevent homelessness. Activities include drop-ins, workshops, and referrals to specialist services, aiming to improve financial security, reduce costs, and help older people remain safely in their homes.
