Household Support Fund
The Household Support Fund, funded by the UK Government, has now ended.
It has been replaced by the Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF). This is not a like‑for‑like replacement: while the Household Support Fund focused on cost-of-living support, the CRF is aimed at financial crisis support and strengthening long‑term financial resilience.
Worcestershire County Council are currently developing the local scheme in line with Department for Work and Pensions guidance. The page below will be updated as soon as more information becomes available.
