Cost of living support - residents' survey 2025

Cost of Living scheme: We want to hear your views!

Who can take part?

If you live in Oxfordshire and:

• Have received Cost of Living support
• Needed support but didn’t qualify
• Or weren’t aware support was available

…we’d really value your feedback.

What is the Cost of Living scheme?

This scheme helps residents facing financial pressures due to rising living costs. Support includes:

• Financial assistance
• Essential household items
• Free school meals during holidays

Your experiences help us understand what’s working and where we can do better.

About the survey

The survey asks how you’ve used the scheme and how it’s helped. It’s anonymous — we won’t ask for your name or address. We do ask a few ‘About You’ questions to better understand the communities we’re hearing from.

Why your views matter

Your feedback will shape how we support residents in the future. We’re also listening to support services. All responses will be included in a report for Councillors early next year to help improve the scheme.

Focus groups

If you are interested in sharing your views in more detail, we are running a few in-person focus groups across the county and one online. You can find more information and register your interest in taking part here.

The survey will close at 9.00am on 17 November 2025
