Coping with the cost of living

Coping with the cost of living

In this article we provide a free cost of living guide to help in these uncertain times.

We’ve been serving the community of Maldon since 2010.

We care about the place and the people who call it home.

And that’s why we’ve created this guide to coping with the increasing cost of living.

It’s a challenging time for many of us, some more than others. As a local company, we feel it’s important to do something positive for those in our community struggling with this current situation.

Over the following pages, we’ll share some tips and advice we’ve researched.

We’ve created this guide in an easy-to-follow format.

Each section focuses on things that can be done in the areas of energy costs, food bills, home expenses, and how we can take care of our wellbeing and not just our money.

I hope you find this guide helpful, and please get in touch with us if you have tips, techniques or ideas on how to make people’s money go further.

Thank you for your time, and rest assured, things will get better. They always do.
