Overview

Good financial wellbeing is being able to access services such as:

  • bank accounts
  • benefits and debt advice
  • better utilities
  • employability and digital skills

Being able to access these successfully can mean you have better control over your income.

You may struggle to access these services because of a low income or unexpected income shocks. As a result, you may use food banks or local welfare provision / crisis support services regularly.

The Social Navigators can provide intensive support to South Tyneside residents experiencing financial wellbeing issues.
