Autumn/Winter Cost of Living Survey

Healthwatch England reports that the continuing cost of living crisis is negatively affecting people's physical and mental wellbeing, with vulnerable people and those on lower incomes hit the hardest.

As the cost of living crisis challenges our basic human needs, rising costs mean many of us are having to adapt our spending to keep on top of expenses. 

Some people are having to make tough decisions, cutting back on what they’re spending on food, heating and their health to pay their bills.

The cost of living crisis shouldn't be a barrier to care.

Healthwatch Salford wants to hear from the people of Salford, how this may be affecting them. Their autumn/winter survey asks a few questions about how the cost of living may be affecting you both physically and mentally.  The information you share is confidential and anonymised before Healthwatch Salford shares it; your personal information is never included in their survey reports.

‘We know the cost of living continues to have an impact on the people of Salford, especially at this time of year and with rising energy costs looming again. We would be grateful if you could take the time to share your experience with us by completing the survey. We do use your feedback locally and nationally to change services.  If you are struggling there is support out there via the council and the voluntary sector in Salford – please do reach out and do not struggle in silence.
