Household Support Fund

Many residents are facing financial challenges due to the continued rise in the cost of living. If you’re finding it difficult to make ends meet, then it’s worth checking whether you’re eligible to support from the Government’s Household Support Fund.

It’s also important to note that any payment you receive from the Fund does not impact on any benefits you may be claiming.

The Household Support Fund is available to help a wide range of low-income households including families with children, pensioners, unpaid carers, care leavers and disabled people, with food, energy, water and other essential household costs.

The current round of funding is for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. You can apply once in any six-month period.

More information on whether you’re eligible, and how to apply, can be found on the Council’s website, using the link below.
