About the fund
The government has provided funding for us to support people who are struggling to:
- buy food
- pay energy and water bills
- cover other essential costs linked to energy and wider essentials (including sanitary products, warm clothing, soap, blankets)
Due to the limited amount of funds available, we will prioritise items necessary for day-to-day living, but other essential types of support will be considered.
Any money you get through the household support fund will not affect Universal Credit payments, but you must declare it as part of your UC assessment.
We aim to support as many residents as we can who meet the eligibility criteria and need our help the most.
To qualify you must:
- live in South Gloucestershire
- be over 18 years old
- need immediate or long-term support
