The funding is for residents of the city who have been severely impacted by the current increases in living costs.
Every Local Authority makes their own local decision on how to distribute their grant funded allocation. Funding for April 2025 to March 2026 has been decided and distributed across multiple areas.
Allocation of funds
The fund will deliver support and help residents with -
- food, including free school meal vouchers and community food aid
- fuel and energy support, such as energy efficiency and insulation improvements
- money and debt advice, from immediate short-term needs, to school clothing
- support for older people
For full details and eligibility information you can access our Household Support Fund information document.
The allocation of fund will be reviewed and any changes will be updated on this page as soon as it becomes available.
Additional help is available for customers affected by the cost of living increases.
