Household Support Fund

Important information

As this funding is allocated to Chorley residents in financial difficulties you may be asked to provide proof of residency or other supporting documentation, but our delivery partners will work with you to make this as simple as possible.

Our partner organisations will talk to you about your situation and work out the best way to help you including offering wider and if needed longer term support.

You can access support for food and essentials and fuel support, but you should only access the fund through one partner unless you are referred to a different delivery partner by one of the delivery partners.

Your details will be used to contact you about this support or refer you to one of the other delivery partners if they are more appropriate to support you. We will also cross check applicant details provided between partners to prevent misuse of the fund. As Chorley Council are the lead  partner, we may also receive your details to provide support as part of this fund.

We may collate information to help us target support in the future and may ask if you would be willing to provide follow up information to advise how the fund has supported you.
