Household Support Fund

The funding for the Household Support Fund is is paid by the Department for Work and Pensions.

Our scheme will provide:

• a food voucher for households with school aged children for the Autumn, Christmas, and February school breaks
• white goods for eligible households, e.g. air fryers. Please note this scheme will be administered by Rutland Citizens Advice Bureau
• a one-off payment to care leavers
• a one-off payment to pensioners who are on a low income, cannot claim Pension Credit, and are losing the winter fuel payment
• a one-off payment to clear old council tax debts in specific circumstances
• an online application form for households with extenuating circumstances

Detailed criteria apply which you can find in our policy.

Applications will be accepted from November with this page then being updated with the application form.
