Household Support Fund
Councils across the country have been provided with funding through the Household Support Scheme. This is to support households on a low income with food and utilities whilst the cost of living is increasing.
As part of that assistance, we will provide eligible households with extra financial support in the first two weeks of April 2023.
Eligibility
You are eligible for a payment if you:
- received a council tax reduction on 28 March 2023, and
- had children included in your claim
The support you will get
You'll receive £20.00 per child.
How to get your payment
We will pay your award directly into your bank account. This will happen automatically, so you do not need to contact us.
Further support
We are currently developing the plans for further assistance for the remainder of the financial year. Once they have been agreed, further details will be available here.
