Whilst we appreciate that the aftermath of a storm can be severe and create significant challenges to households, Herefordshire Community Foundation is able to offer immediate financial support for people affected.

Grants of up to £200 are available to help with urgent needs such as the cost of temporary accommodation or purchasing items residents need in order to stay in their homes, such as dehumidifiers and replacing damaged food, clothing or bedding after frozen pipes bursting and flooding a property or roof damage.

Also, with alerts on the Rivers Lugg, Teme and Wye across the county, many households are bracing themselves for flooding. The Emergency Relief Fund can offer small grants to Herefordshire residents in need.

To find out more please visit the HCF Emergency Relief Fund page.
