Household Support Fund 5 – Extension Announced until April 2025
Nottingham City Council is pleased that an extension to the current round of the Household Support Fund was announced on 2nd September 2024 to continue to provide support to vulnerable residents in Nottingham until April 2025. The money will be used to support struggling pensioners, families and the city’s most vulnerable households with the increased costs of living. The council is awaiting the full details of this fund but will continue to focus on providing support for energy and food for those residents in need through the remaining HSF 5 period until 30th September 2024.
Full details of the HSF5 Extension will be provided on this website when confirmed and through the councils social media channels.
The money has come from the Government’s Household Support Fund and will be given out to people across the city to ease the pressure of increasing costs over the coming months. This is the sixth round of funding and previously the grant has been used towards a package of help and advice for Nottingham residents who receive Council Tax Support. This has included e-vouchers for energy bills and supermarkets, including throughout the school holidays for pupils who have free school meals (FSM).
The latest extension the HSF5 scheme takes the amount distributed to vulnerable people to more than £22m since October 2021.
More than 19,000 FSM children in Nottingham will continue to get supermarket vouchers for the October, Christmas and February holidays, as well as access to free half-term activities through the Holiday Activity Fund.
