Your Life Your Way
The East Riding Council has launched Your Life Your Way, a website hub featuring a vast range of information on how to stay independent and access support for both carers and East Riding residents. The website will help people self-serve and enable anyone to get timely advice. This enhances the personal touch, giving choice and control to residents.
Visitors to the website will find guidance on staying active and independent. If you have any care needs there are contact details for vital services and information on how to access the technology available through our lifeline service that can support independence. You will also find:
• Advice and support for any stage of your adult social care journey
• Information and help to stay active and look after yourself
• Information on over 300 local groups and activities
• Local community and care services
• Personal budgets, payments, and a benefits calculator
• Help to work out what you need to pay towards care
• Support for carers including a FREE Carers UK digital resource
• Lifeline, aids, equipment, and adaptations
We understand that for most people, staying independent is important to ensure you live a happy and fulfilling life. Your Life Your Way provides the information and guidance to get you the right support at the right time.

To support residents with the cost of living, East Riding Council have launched a ‘Help for Households’ campaign. This campaign will ensure that residents are aware of the support, advice and help available to them from the government, from local partners and ERYC’s own council services.

Information about support, advice and help together with sign-posting is currently arranged under seven headings to enable residents to find relevant information as easily as possible.  The dedicated one-stop website is now available to view by clicking on the link:

https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/cost-of-living-help-for-households/

This information spans current available provision from the government, partners and ERYC’s own services. New additional provisions and routes of access are being added as soon as they become available to residents.

Residents without access to the internet and in need of help can contact the council by telephoning: (01482) 393939.

For businesses, a summary of help, advice and support is also now available by clicking the following link: https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/business/cost-of-living-help-for-businesses/

Welcoming places 

Welcoming places are being established across the East Riding to provide somewhere warm for residents to visit during the colder months.

Community groups will be able to apply for grants to open their venues as welcoming spaces while East Riding libraries will be opening their doors to people to offer a warm and welcoming place.

As part of the Do it for East Yorkshire community grant, organisations and community groups, including those who have previously received funding from the scheme, can now apply for grants between £1,500 and £5,000 specifically for opening their venues on a regular basis to provide welcoming places.
