On Your Behalf: Helplines, Mediation and Cost of Living

16/03/2024

Helplines, Mediation and Cost of Living

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Helplines, Mediation and Cost of Living

Helplines, mediation and cost of living. 

This week we look at the cost of living. Research from the Consumer Council shows that 
half of Northern Ireland households have less than £90 per week after their essential spending costs.

Was there any help in the budget? is there any help coming from Stormont? Benefits Adviser Rachel Jeffers is in the studio.

The cost of mobile phone and broadband contracts are about to rise mid contract but there are ways skip those price hikes and U Switch will tell us how.

We're looking at Helplines - many and varied with Clodagh Crowe and Claire O’Prey ahead of the annual Helplines NI gathering. 

Last week we talked about the rights to property and finances for cohabiting couples when relationships break down. This week we're looking at alternative resolutions with Joan Davis from Family Mediation NI.
