Household Support Fund


The Household Support Fund helps vulnerable households cope with the rising cost of living through fuel grants as well as grants for essential household appliances, such as cookers and washing machines.

We administer this programme on behalf of Herefordshire Council with funding from Department of Work & Pensions.

About The Household Support Fund

This Fund usually awards grants of up to £500.

To access a grant, an online application will need to be made on behalf of an individual/family in need by a referral organisation or care professional such as Citizens Advice Bureau, local food bank, social worker, debt advisor or employment coach. Payments are then made direct to the utility company or via your pre-paid meter.
