If you’re struggling with day to day living costs such as food, energy costs or essential household items, help is at hand for eligible residents through our Household Support Fund.
All care leavers living in the Borough between 2 June and 30 September 2024 will be prioritised with a £500 payment.
With limited finances available, we will also prioritise residents with the lowest incomes to help support as many households as possible.
