I have tremendous problems trying to budget and sticking to it ...have a problem with numbers also live alone and no friends or family to help. Is there anyone that may physically help me ? I live in Cornwall in my 50s but mental health support is very poor here

    Hi @danthegreen1 welcome to the community and apologies for the late reply. Here's a list of local CAB's in Cornwall who may be able to support you, do you have support from a mental health team or your local council may have some suggestions for support. We have some advice and tips on budgeting and money saving tips.

    Please keep us posted.

    Hello @danthegreen1 Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Thank you for joining and sharing.

    I am one of the team of community champions. We guide, advise and help new members who join the community.

    I am sorry what you are going through. I myself have mental health issues.

    Have you tried mental health charities.

    Used this one last time.

    https://www.richmondfellowship.org.uk.

    Can help with floating support or an outreach worker.  Advice and guidance on wellbeing, benefits and anything else.

    Do take clientele who are disabled or have other conditions.

    Sorry to hear you have problems with budgeting and money.

    Some County councils have a wellbeing unit for health and community.

    Have a look on line also do courses regarding how to budget and finances.  As well being.

    Please if I can help and be supportive.  Ready to listen.

    Please take care.

    Hi @danthegreen1
    The Money Advice Service have lots of support on budgets. They have a budget planner that you can put all your information in to and it can give you suggestions on how to help.
