Councils offer cash help up to £200 via the Household Support Fund. It is aimed at low-income households, regardless of benefit status.
Your town might offer cost-of-living help. Councils give money to people who need it. This help works even without DWP benefits. Anyone can apply, especially those with low incomes.
These grants help pay vital bills if money is tight. Birmingham could give around £200, but amounts vary depending on where a applicant lives.
Councils decide who gets the money, and the Government funds this through the HSF, called the Household Support Fund.
Check your local council’s website for the Household Support Fund page. It will explain how to apply for help.
The Government says councils aid with costs including energy, water, food, and other items. Councils might give food vouchers during school breaks.
They help those who struggle to afford essentials, and benefits don’t matter for council help. Getting HSF aid won’t cut your benefits. Each council runs its own support program, so eligibility and process details will differ.
