What's your experience of trying to access support from your local authority / council like?

Hi, thank you for the big question of the week. I say, invade pretty Council which they provide all sorts of what. Phoned, although they found this time around is just informally without Chaya, no cash. And it was totally reduced which wasn't even enough for me and the family. So I don't know what's happening around.

And that and apart from that, I think there should be a universal space where we can get all information because I don't really get information. I don't know what that place is to apply for Grant from. I don't know what to do next. I don't know where to go through and about the also found I found out from a friend, not not like there is a centralised place I can get.

It's from in my for my castle. So I think that needs to be done and more grants should be hard for people to be able to apply with because the cost of living is not going down, I don't think it's going down anytime soon and the money available is not even enough for the family. Thank you. Bye.
