Advice and support with the cost of living

The rising cost of living is affecting everybody in different ways. Here at Dover District Council, our cost-of-living plan will set out how we plan to support those most impacted, as well as those who have not faced financial challenges before. Please see our cost of living page for further support.

Council Tax Support scheme – have your say 

We are asking residents for their views on proposed changes to the Council Tax Support scheme for working-age people. Feedback from this consultation will help shape the final scheme for the district - have your say 

Household Support Fund 

Dover District Council has received funding from UK Government to support households who would otherwise struggle to buy food or pay essential utility bills or meet other essential living costs, through the Household Support Fund.
