AVA's Cost of Living Directory has been updated

3 September 2025

Ashfield Voluntary Action has updated its popular Directory of support services to help you to navigate your way through the Cost-of-Living crisis.

Whilst the information in the Directory may also be found on our online Information Hub (click HERE to go to the Information Hub) we are aware that not everyone has easy access to the internet.

The Information Hub contains much more information than the Directory, but it goes some way towards sharing easy access to information in a format which can be printed.

If you don't have access to a printer please contact Sarah Taylor (details below) for a paper copy of the Directory.

The information in the Directory is helpfully arranged in sections by subject so that anyone can access the information easily. The subject areas are:

• Food banks, food clubs and other food related support in Ashfield
• Money, debt advice, benefit checks and support
• Mental Health
• Children and Families
• Energy and Fuel
• Housing
• Domestic Abuse
• Useful Contacts
• Useful Links

The electronic version is in pdf format and can be dowloaded from our website. Please click HERE to download an electronic version of the Directory. All the links in the document are 'live' so that you can click on the links and go straight to the chosen information.   

If you would like a printed copy of the Directory, or would like one-to-one support to access the information and services available, please contact:
