Did you know? Economic abuse is a form of domestic abuse.

Our Domestic Abuse Champions at Hull City Council have been learning more about economic abuse. It involves the control of a victim’s money, finances and things that money can buy, such as clothing, transport, food and a place to live. It may include:

🚫 Stopping you from working
💷 Controlling your money
🔒 Blocking access to your bank account
🧾 Refusing to help with bills
⚠️ Creating debt in your name
🛂 Control due to no recourse to public funds

1 in 6 women experienced economic abuse in the UK from a partner or ex-partner in the past 12 months and over 50% of domestic homicide reviews involved economic abuse by a partner or ex-partner.

If this sounds familiar, please know that support is available:
Hull Domestic Abuse Partnership - 01482 318 759
Domestic Abuse Housing Hub - 01482 612040 (press 1)

Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) is the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of and transforming responses to economic abuse.

Could you get £150 off your electricity bill this winter?
If someone in your household receives Pension Credit, Universal Credit, Housing Benefit or income-related Employment and Support Allowance, you may qualify for the Warm Home Discount Scheme.
Check who is named on your electricity bill before 23 August.
For example, if one member of a couple receives Pension Credit but the electricity account is in the other person’s name, you could find it harder to receive the discount automatically.
Contact your electricity supplier as soon as possible if the account details need updating.
A quick check now could help make sure your household receives £150 off its energy bills this winter.

The Warm Home Discount Scheme could take £150 off your winter electricity bill - eligibility, how to get your discount, deadlines.
