The Helping Hand programme is a support service run by Buckinghamshire Council that helps residents who are struggling with the cost of living or experiencing financial hardship. Public information from the council’s website explains that the service provides guidance and assistance for people who may be on low incomes or facing a financial emergency. Residents can contact the Helping Hand team to discuss their situation and be directed to appropriate support services or financial assistance available locally.

The programme acts as a central point of contact for a range of support options. These may include help with food access, advice on benefits and debt, assistance with energy or household bills, and support in accessing essential household items or community services. The team also works with local charities and community organisations to help residents find practical support when needed. Requests for assistance can be made online through a council account or by contacting the team directly by phone.
