Household Support Fund

Household Support Fund Grants – Applications Now Closed

Applications for the Household Support Fund (HSF) have now closed.

The Household Support Fund will end following the Government’s announcement, and support through this fund will come to an end on 31 March 2026.

If you have already applied for a HSF Grant but have not yet received an update, please note that all remaining applications are currently being assessed. Grants are subject to eligibility checks and the availability of funding, so not all applicants will receive a payment. Applicants will be notified of the outcome before HSF provision ends on 31 March 2026.

Further information about any future support schemes, including the Government’s planned Crisis and Resilience Fund, will be shared by BCP Council once details are confirmed.
