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.

Salford residents can easily find out for themselves whether they can become better off, especially those who are online and may not be able to get to council offices during opening hours.

From finding ways to improve your job opportunities to applying for Universal Credit, our website brings lots of useful information together in one easy to use place.

BetterOff can help you calculate possible entitlement to benefit. It also offers wider useful information and details about access to local advice organisations. Support with learning basic digital skills is available in our Gateway centres and through our Digital Everyone programme.

So, keep on top of your budget, search for jobs and see what benefits you may be entitled to with BetterOff Salford. This digital development is one of many exciting new initiatives to improve customer service and create a better and fairer Salford.
