Important information about the Household Support Fund

The Household Support Fund, which previously provided support such as supermarket vouchers during school holidays for children eligible for free school meals, was funded by the government.

The government has now removed this funding and the scheme will close after the Easter Holidays.

If you are experiencing financial hardship, you may be able to get help through the Crisis and Resilience Fund.
