Support Available
The scheme will be available to eligible Chorley residents from 3 June 2024 to 30 September 2024. However, depending on demand from residents the fund may close earlier so it is encouraged that you seek support early.
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.
Please note that Household Support Fund processing times for support may vary between organisations. This support is not provided immediately.
Type of requests will be not be covered by the Household Support Fund:
- Any requests for items that are not essential
- Applications from those with sufficient income or savings
- Requests for support where this is the responsibility of the landlord
