Financial wellbeing

Our aims are to help our tenants and those in our wider community to realise their potential and improve their lives. We want our tenants to sustain their tenancies and we support them to improve their lives, creating greater independence. If you're looking for a job, to increase your household finances, or would like to lead a healthier and happier life, we can help.

What we can help with

If you'd like to know more about any of the above, or need our help, you can drop us an email to wellbeing@redkitehousing.org.uk, or fill in our simple online form.

Pension credit

Pension credit provides support for various household expenses - however, many people are unaware of this benefit and are not claiming the support they are entitled to. According to the government, only about 60% of eligible pensioners are claiming pension credit nationwide. This means that four out of 10 eligible pensioners are missing out on benefits of up to £3,900 a year. Are you one of them?

To learn more about pension credit, including eligibility criteria and how to apply, visit Buckinghamshire Council's website.

If you are a Buckinghamshire resident, the council’s Helping Hand service offers support for those who may not qualify for pension credit but are still facing financial difficulties. The team can provide emergency support, practical guidance, or contact details for other organisations that offer food support or specialist advice.

Digital savings calculator

The Money Advice Service have put together a digital savings calculator that you can use to work out how well you're budgeting currently. It will also give you pointers on how you can improve your budgeting.
