People are only just realising you can get free cash if you’re struggling with bills
Households are only just realising they can get support with food, fuel and energy costs.
Dozens of local authorities have posted on Facebook and said that households can apply for help if they’re struggling with bills.
For example, a post on Dorset Council’s Facebook page said: “Round Four of the Household Support Fund is to open soon for applications.
“Low-income households in the Dorset Council area will be able to apply for the next round of the Household Support Fund (HSF) to help with rising costs.
“Applications for this window open at 9am on Tuesday April 4.”
People have discovered that other councils are also preparing to open applications for the fourth round of the support fund.
One person said on Facebook: “Keep an eye out for the new application deadlines for the Household Support Fund by visiting your local council’s website.”
The Household Support Fund was first established in 2021, to help those on the lowest incomes with the rising cost of living.
