The fund is now closed to all other applicants.
Due to the terms of the government guidance, one third of the total household support fund has to be kept for allocation to pensioner households.
Our advice centres are currently processing applications from non-pensioner applicants and we anticipate that when they have completed assessments, the remaining household support fund will be spent.
Therefore we’re not accepting any new applications for the Household Support Fund unless you are a pensioner.
If you need help or advice please contact our advice centres or the community hub, who can advise you as to how to access food or signpost you to support.
How to apply (for pensioners only)

Step three: You will be notified once your application has been assessed and told if you were successful or not.
We’d prefer you choose to submit your application form via email, as this saves paper and reduces admin costs for the taxpayer. There is no need to post a hard copy as well.

There is likely to be a high demand for this fund. Applications will be assessed on a first come, first served basis and the process could take up to five to ten working days.
The fund will remain open until all the funds are spent or by 30 September 2022.
