Nacro helped me a lot. Especially teaching me how to live on my own. If you're starting off with nothing, this is the best place that you can possibly start.Snow, Housing Service User
Find out what you're entitled to
Our benefits calculator will help you find the level of benefit you are entitled to. The calculator is free to use, and the details you provide are anonymous.
Before you start, make sure you have information about your savings, income, pensions and existing benefits (for you and your partner if you have one). If you run out of time, you can save your calculation and come back to it later.
We're always looking for service users to help us shape Nacro services and campaigns. There are loads of ways to get involved.
