Following some changes to the Household Support Fund, eligible residents are now able to self-refer.
The Household Support Fund (HSF) was launched by Nottinghamshire County Council in November after it was allocated £5.6m from the Department for Work and Pensions to help those most in need as the journey out of the Covid-19 pandemic continued.
Up to £2.3m of the funding was allocated to provide vouchers for up to 27,500 children during school holidays until the end of March.

Are you a service that supports people who are lonely?
Nottingham Trent University are conducting a study to find out more about the experiences of people who attend services, activities, or groups which offer support to promote social connection and/or reduce loneliness in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire.
We are asking members or users of local services, groups, or activities to take part in a 45-minute interview. Participants will receive a £20 Shopping Voucher for their time.
The aim of the research is to understand experiences of social connection, relationships, and activities, the Coronavirus pandemic, awareness of services, and local needs.
