There is money available to help Wokingham Borough residents through the Household Support Fund this winter. Apply now as this round is closing soon.
You can apply if you’re struggling to pay for:
- Food
- Bills
- Energy costs
- Other everyday essentials
The Household Support Fund has been allocated by the Department of Work and Pensions to councils in England to pass on money to residents who need it.
What you’re entitled to depends on your situation:
- Free school meal families – £15 per week, per child during the school holidays for each child receiving means-tested free school meals
- Pensioners, carers and disabled people – one off grant of £120
- All other households – one off grant of £60
The current Household Support Fund covers 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2025. Do not re-apply if you’ve already got a payment recently.
If you successfully applied for a Household Support Grant between 1st April and 30th September 2024, you will automatically get another payment this winter. It will be paid six months after your last payment. You do not need to re-apply.
