Childcare costs and benefits

Visit Salford City Council's website for information on free childcare funding.

If you, or your child/young person has a disability, finanical support may be available. This is not paid automatically - so to avoid missing out, claim as soon as you think you might be eligible.

For disability-related financial support, including benefits, tax credits, payments, grants and concessions, please explore the 'Benefits and Financial Support from the Government' spread sheet in the download tab on the right. You will find links to-

  • Disability and sickness benefits
  • Vehicles and transport
  • Home and Housing
  • On a low income
  • VAT relief

BetterOff is a service for people who live in Salford. BetterOff will show you the benefits you are entitled to and will help you to apply for them online. BetterOff also provides information on how to find and apply for jobs. This support can be accessed online, or at the Gateway Centres on weekdays, anytime between 8.30am and 4.30pm.
