Do you qualify for the Household Support Fund?

We know that sudden unexpected costs can create real challenges if you’re already experiencing financial difficulties.

To help families, the Government has extended a grant for households, known as the Household Support Fund, to provide short-term financial support to anyone who is struggling to cover essentials such as food, clothing and utilities. It will also be available where existing housing support schemes such as Housing Benefit, Universal Credit and Discretionary Housing Payments can't meet a family or household’s needs.

Please contact your local council directly to find out more about how you can apply and whether you qualify for the additional funds.

You can apply for funding up until 30 September 2022.
