Household Support Fund
The Department for Work and Pensions have announced an extension of the Household support fund to be made available to Councils in England to help with significant rising living costs. It is intended to help those who do not have enough resources to meet immediate short term needs and require assistance with essential items over the coming months.
In line with national guidance, the new phase will be prioritising and targeting support to people who have not been eligible for income related benefits and who have not had any other government cost of living support to date.
Support available
In Chorley we have developed our approach to distribute this funding by working collectively in partnership with our community organisations and voluntary groups to provide support whilst also linking residents with wider support.
The fund will help with short-term living costs such as food, energy, and essential items. The scheme will also signpost you to other sources of advice and assistance.
The fourth round of the Household Support Fund is in progress and details will be published on this page as soon as they become available in May
