Fuel prices across the world have continued to rise due to the war in Ukraine. As the winter season draws near, the Falklands Islands Government and charities are aware that the increase in fuel costs could push more people into financial hardship.

The Government would like to remind the community that help is available for those in need over the winter and encourages people to apply for its fuel allowance scheme in confidence. The Seafarers Mission will also continue to operate the foodbank.
