The Household Support Fund is there to help low-income households, including families, pensioners, unpaid carers, care leavers and disabled people. It provides immediate help for those who are struggling. This could include help with energy, water, broadband and phone bills, as well as other essentials such as food, clothing, and hygiene products. The fund can also assist with transport-related costs such as car repairs, buying a bicycle or paying for fuel.

Please note:

We will be sharing information on how we are allocating the new Household Support Fund soon.

This will include details of all the initiatives the fund will be offering support to. Additionally, it will provide information about our online Application Scheme and the date when this will be launched.

Once we have the full details, we will post them clearly on this page. Our goal is to get this important information to you as quickly as possible.
