Yesterday we announced an extension of the Household Support Fund – providing an additional £842 million to support the most vulnerable households as we deliver on our pledge to halve inflation.
- The Household Support Fund has already helped vulnerable families across England through challenging times, so it is right that we continue this support as we work to halve inflation and grow our economy.
- That is why yesterday we announced an extension of the Household Support Fund until 31 March 2023, which will provide local authorities with an additional £842 million to establish schemes that support vulnerable families in their areas, such as food vouchers, energy saving packs, or items such as heated blankets.
- This funding will ensure that we continue to support vulnerable families with the cost of living as we deliver on our pledge to halve inflation.
Sir Robert Goodwill MP has welcomed the news that the Conservative Government have announced the new Household Support Fund Allocations for Local Authorities across England.
North Yorkshire Council will receive £7,075,100 in this latest round of funding to help families that need support with the cost of essentials in the face of rising costs.
