How we can help
We can offer advice and support to city residents who are vulnerable during the coronavirus pandemic.
Contact us
Please email us:
- if you need support to get food or other essential supplies
- if you need help to pay for fuel, rent, council tax or other bills

Email c19support@leicester.gov.uk giving a contact telephone number if possible. If you are telling us about another person please get their permission before giving us their phone number or address.
A member of our staff will call you back between 9.30am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
