Household Support Fund

The government has funded a scheme, known as the Household Support Fund, to help those who have been most affected by the rising cost of living.

The Household Support Fund (Round 5) has now come to an end.

Applications made before 1 October 2024 are being finalised.

Information regarding Round 6 will be detailed on this page as soon as possible.
