AVIVA Community Fund - Together we can raise double the funds to help with rising costs
This month, AVIVA are pleased to introduce a new fund – the Cost of Living Boost.
We all know that rising costs are making a lot of lives harder and community support is more vital than ever. Many organisations are working tirelessly to meet this challenge, but the combination of greater need and funding not stretching so far is causing them extra strain.

Cost of Living Stakeholder Toolkit
The Government is providing £37 billion this year to help households combat the rising cost of living. As this may lead to questions about how much people may be entitled to, the DWP have produced a toolkit.
The toolkit sets out:
- what the different payments are and when they will start being paid
- who is eligible for the payments
- how stakeholders can support their customers
