Community support and advice
Our goal is not just to respond to crisis, but to end the need for foodbanks altogether by tackling the root causes of hardship.
Our friendly and knowledgeable advisors offer confidential, practical support to help you regain control of your situation, including:
- Maximising income
- Reviewing household spending
- Working towards a sustainable budget
- Benefits checks to ensure you are receiving what you’re entitled to
- Signposting to other services
We aim to help Horsham District residents maximise their income, making a real difference to household stability.
Find out what benefits you could receive
Understanding benefits can feel confusing, and many people don’t realise they may be entitled to financial support.
To help, Horsham Matters has created a set of simple guides explaining some of the most common benefits available. These guides outline who each benefit is for, what support it provides, and how you can apply.
Use the buttons below to open the guides and learn more about the help that may be available to you.
Support on the Move
In 2024, we launched our Support on the Move advice vehicle to bring face-to-face support directly into communities across Horsham District. The vehicle travels to surrounding villages on a fortnightly schedule.
Support available includes:
- Housing advice
- Utilities support
- Budgeting help
- Benefits and debt advice
