Household Support Fund

Household Support Fund

Wiltshire Council is working in partnership with a number of local organisations and internal departments to distribute £5.4m allocated in round four of the Household Support Fund from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

The Household Support Fund is in place to support households that would otherwise struggle to buy food, pay essential utility bills or meet other essential living costs during the current cost-of-living challenges.

The fund is intended to support a wide range of low-income households in need including families with children of all ages, pensioners, unpaid carers, care leavers and disabled people.
