The current round of the Household Support Fund is open between 14thOctober 2024 and 31st March 2025. This is open to anyone who is NOT part of a family where children receive free school meals, and is for those struggling with rising costs of living as well as people in receipt of benefits. You will receive the grant in the form of food, fuel or cash vouchers.
Households with pensioners, disabled people, or carers can receive £120. All other households can receive £60
The way the Household Support Fund is administered has changed.
If you received a payment from the Household Support Fund during the last round (April to September 2024) you will automatically receive another payment 6 months after the first payment – you do NOT need to reapply or send in new evidence.
If you did NOT receive a payment during the last phase April to September 2024, you can apply for the current round by completing this application form and submitting your evidence.
