Household Support Fund
The Household Support Fund is a government fund that offers eligible households support with fuel, food and other essentials. It will run until 30th September 2024.

You do not need to apply for this fund — please be assured that we, and our partners, will be in touch with everyone who is entitled to help.
Who will get support?
Please see the table below which outlines the types of support on offer and who will receive it.
