Household Support Fund


Please be advised that the Hardship Grant Community Fund scheme is currently paused for new enquiries whilst the team work through the waiting list. 

The Hardship Grant Community Fund will operate until 31st March 2026, allowing ample time for eligible residents to apply.

If you have submitted a successful enquiry since the current scheme opened on 23rd June 2025, you are on the waiting list and will be contacted within the next four weeks to complete your full application. 

Please be patient whilst the team work through the waiting list. Additionally, please ensure that you have your voicemail turned on, so the team can leave you a message if you miss our call, and that your phone accepts calls from withheld/private numbers. 

Please note that the enquiries will reopen in late July 2025. If you are not currently on the waiting list, or it has now been 12 months since your household last received a grant payment, you will be able to submit a new enquiry once enquiries resume in late July 2025.
