Help was made available for those in financial trouble during the pandemic

May 4 2020 - A Wellbeing Support Fund was launched in Exeter to support people who found themselves in financial difficulty due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

The scheme was launched by Exeter City Council, with funding being provided by Devon County Council’s COVID19 Hardship Support Grant, to help individuals who are unable to access support from any other local or national initiatives.
