💷 Trying to get a clearer picture of your household finances? A budget is a great place to start.

Working out exactly what money you have coming in and where it’s going each month can make it easier to understand your finances and spot where changes might be possible.

Start with your income and regular outgoings, then prioritise essential costs such as housing, energy, food and travel. Once you can see everything together, you may be able to identify areas where you can save.

But budgeting isn’t always about cutting back. If there simply isn’t enough money coming in to cover your essential costs, it’s important to get advice. There may be benefits or other financial support you’re entitled to, or debts and bills we can help you deal with.

Citizens Advice Rutland can help you look at your finances and understand your options.

⚖️ Have you been asked to attend a court or tribunal hearing by phone or video call?
Remote hearings are now used for some court and tribunal proceedings, allowing people to take part without attending a courtroom in person.
But just because you're joining from home doesn't mean the hearing is any less formal.

It's important to prepare in advance, understand what will happen and make sure you have the information and documents you need.

Check your joining instructions, test your phone or internet connection where appropriate, and try to find a quiet, private place where you won't be interrupted.
Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand what support may be available and where to find further guidance before your hearing.

If you're worried about a court or tribunal deadline, seek advice as early as possible.

🩺 Could you be entitled to help with your health costs?

Some NHS services are free, but there are others you may have to pay for. If you’re on a low income, you could be eligible for help with some of those costs.

That could include support towards things such as prescriptions, dental treatment, eye tests and glasses, depending on your circumstances.

With household budgets already under pressure, it’s worth checking what help you’re entitled to rather than assuming you’ll have to meet the full cost yourself.
Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand what support may be available and what your next steps should be.

🛍️ Bought something that turned out to be faulty? You may have more rights than you realise.

Whether you've bought something brand new or secondhand, you may be entitled to a refund, repair or replacement if the item develops a fault.

Your rights will depend on factors such as where you bought it, how long you've had it and the nature of the problem.

If something goes wrong, it's worth keeping your receipt, order confirmation, any warranty information and photographs showing the fault.

Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand your consumer rights and what steps you can take to resolve the problem.
Don't assume you have to accept a faulty product simply because you've already paid for it.

🧡 If you’re experiencing domestic violence or abuse, you don’t have to deal with it alone.

Domestic abuse can take many forms. It isn’t always physical, and it can include controlling or coercive behaviour, emotional abuse, financial abuse and threats.

There are organisations that can provide specialist support, and Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand your options and find the right support for your circumstances.

We can also help with some of the practical problems that can come with leaving or changing a relationship, including housing, benefits, money and understanding your rights.

You don’t have to wait until things reach crisis point before asking for help. Our advice is free, confidential and impartial.

🕯️ Losing someone close to you is never easy, and having to make funeral arrangements can feel overwhelming.

When someone dies, there are often practical decisions that need to be made at a time when you're already dealing with grief.

Funerals can be arranged by family members, close friends or, in certain circumstances, local authorities. Funeral directors can explain the different options available and help with the arrangements.

It's also important to understand the costs involved and what financial help may be available if you're worried about paying for a funeral.

Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand the practical and financial considerations, and point you towards further support when you need it.

💙 Our advice is free, confidential and impartial, and you can talk to us without judgement.

🧳 Did something go wrong with your holiday? You may be entitled to compensation.

A holiday is something we look forward to — so when what you booked isn’t what you received, it can be incredibly frustrating.

Depending on what happened and how your holiday was booked, you could be entitled to compensation from the company you booked with.

If you’re making a complaint or claim, keep hold of your booking confirmation, receipts, photographs, emails and messages, along with any other evidence of what went wrong.

Not sure what your rights are or where to start? Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand your consumer rights and the options available to you.

♿ Do you have a health condition or disability that makes getting around difficult? A Blue Badge could make everyday journeys easier.

The Blue Badge scheme helps people with certain disabilities or mobility difficulties park closer to the places they need to visit.

Some people qualify automatically through certain benefits, while others can apply based on how their condition affects their mobility.

You don't necessarily need to be receiving disability benefits to qualify, so it's worth checking the eligibility criteria.

If you're unsure whether you qualify, or need help understanding the application process, Citizens Advice Rutland can help you explore your options.
Our advice is free, confidential and impartial.

🍎 Struggling to afford enough food for you or your family? Support is available.

Food banks are there to help people who are struggling to afford food. Depending on the food bank, you may need a referral before you can access support.

But if you’re finding it difficult to afford the essentials, it’s also worth looking at the wider picture. You may be entitled to benefits, grants or other cost-of-living support that could help with the pressure on your household finances.

Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand what support may be available, how to access a food bank and what other help you could be entitled to.

There’s no judgement in asking for help. Our advice is free, confidential and impartial.

💔 Going through a separation? Worried about how you'll manage financially?

Separating from a partner can be difficult enough emotionally, but it can also bring significant financial worries, particularly if you've relied on your partner's income.
If you're married or in a civil partnership, you may be able to seek financial support from your former partner, including maintenance payments, depending on your circumstances.

There may also be changes to your benefits, housing arrangements and household bills that you need to consider.

Citizens Advice Rutland can help you understand your options, check what financial support you may be entitled to and work out your next steps.
