The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has provided local government with the Household Support Fund for the period April 2025 – March 2026.

The objective of the Fund is to provide support to vulnerable households in most need of support, to help with significantly rising living costs through two different schemes: a £150 payment made directly to residents and vouchers which are provided during the school holidays to children who would usually receive Free School Meals.
