The Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has announced that residents can now apply for financial help through the Household Support Fund, offering up to £300 in support. The assistance, designed for those over 16 living independently and struggling to cover essential bills, comes as two £150 vouchers for food or energy costs. Applications are open online via Citizens Advice during set windows throughout 2025 and early 2026.
Families with school-aged children may receive additional £15 vouchers during half terms. Similar schemes are available in areas like Cambridgeshire (supermarket vouchers/cash) and York (council tax credit and direct transfers). Each council sets its eligibility rules and type of support—so even if you don’t live in these zones, check your local authority for options.
The Household Support Fund is in its seventh round, providing both monetary aid and practical guidance to help residents stretch their finances during challenging times.
