Cost of living support

We know this is a really difficult time as many of us are facing rising living costs. If you're struggling to afford the essentials, or need support of any kind, please do not suffer in silence - help is available.

If you think you may be homeless or threatened with homelessness, we may be able to help you to stay in your home or move to another home. The earlier you contact us, the more we'll be able to help. Find out how we can help with your housing situation.

Shelter from the Storm is a completely free emergency night shelter providing bed, dinner and breakfast every night of the year.

If you’d like to speak to someone about the support available for residents in Enfield, come and visit our Community Hubs. Our Community Hubs are based in some of our libraries and other convenient pop-up spots. Our ambassadors meet residents face-to-face and help to improve money, jobs and skills, health and wellbeing, and housing stability.

In our libraries, you can access free Wi-Fi, PCs, scanning, printing and photocopying facilities and enjoy one of our many clubs and social groups for children and adults, ranging from knitting, chess, Lego, book clubs and ESOL classes. You can sit back and relax with a book or use one of our convenient study tables complete with power points.

If you’re curious and would like to know more, pop in, have a chat with someone or just enjoy a warm, safe and welcoming environment.
