 Make the most of your budget with York Talk Money
It’s York Talk Money fortnight and we’re working with partners across the city to help residents get the financial support they’re entitled to.
For families, this might include the NHS Healthy Start card - worth up to £440 per year - to help with costs for food, including fruit and vegetables.

Kerbside collections get an upgrade
For the first time residents across York can now recycle food and drink carton and toothpaste tubes in their regular kerbside recycling collections.
The change marks a significant step forward in simplifying household recycling collections and is part of the Government's 'Simpler Recycling' reforms.

Getting around for £1
It’s just £1 when getting around York by bus for young people this Autumn!
Single fares for passengers aged 18 or under are still just £1, across the whole of York and North Yorkshire.
It's quick, it's easy - just ask the driver for the ‘young persons’ ticket’.

 Are you private fostering? Let us know!
If you’re looking after someone else’s child for longer than 28 days, but you’re not a close relative, it’s called private fostering and you need to let us know. We can help to support you and keep them safe.

BEAT Eating disorders
We are working with eating disorder experts Beat to provide free support for York residents.
You can self-refer into online programmes to help you develop skills to help support a loved one with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, OSFED or ARFID.
