Household Support Fund

Household Support Funding has come from government to local authorities, to support those who are struggling to cover basic heating costs and access other essential items. 

Household Support and Energy

We recognised that energy and household costs are increasing for many households, so we are working with Citizens Advice to offer people financial support that will contribute towards household costs, such as energy, water, and wider essentials. This may include support towards the cost of: 

• energy, water, or connectivity (broadband or mobile phone) bills
• domestic heating or lighting products to improve energy efficiency
• wider essentials linked to energy and water (including sanitary products, warm clothing, soap, blankets, boiler service/repair, purchase of smaller / low value white goods i.e. a microwave, small fridge or slow cooker)
• support with transport such as repairing a vehicle, public transport, or paying for fuel.
