Household Support Fund Survey

We want to get feedback from the people who received money or support from the Household Support Fund. It will help us measure what worked well and what didn’t. Your feedback will help us shape how we work in the future.

There are many organisations offering assistance to Dudley residents

Start for life

Find out more about the range of guidance and support that is available for families of children from conception to the age of two.

Support for carers

Do you provide care or support to a parent, child, partner, relative, neighbour or friend who has an illness, disability, addiction or is older and frail? If the answer is yes, then you are a carer. There's lot of support available from Dudley Carers Hub.

Household support fund

The Government has made an extra £842 million available to help the most vulnerable across England.

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.

Free period and incontinence products

Free period and incontinence products are currently available at three borough libraries.

Tampons, sanitary towels and incontinence products are available subject to availability for free on request at libraries in Brierley Hill, Dudley and Lye.

The libraries will only provide products for the person asking.

The pilot initiative is being run in partnership by Dudley Council’s public health team, Dudley Libraries and Periods Matter.
