All the financial support you can get in Wales if you're struggling to pay the bills

On Thursday Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a support package worth £15 billion which will see people given hundreds of pounds in the coming months. Everyone in the country will get £400 to help with their energy bills following the news that the energy price cap could rise to £2,800 in October.

Rising energy costs, increases to National Insurance and council tax, and price hikes in supermarkets have left many fearing they could be plunged into poverty in the next few months.
