Household Support Fund 2024

A new Household Support Fund was announced by the UK government in March 2024.

The new Household Support Fund will cover the period from April 2024 to September 2024. Southwark’s allocation from the new fund is £2.73 million and will be added to the Southwark Cost of Living Fund.

More information about the Household Support Fund can be found on the UK Government website.

Previous Household Support Fund rounds

We received a grant allocation of £2.73m for each of the first three rounds of the Household Support Fund starting in the autumn of 2021. We used those allocations to help vulnerable low-income households pay for higher energy bills and to provide holiday-free school meals for all eligible children attending Southwark schools.

From 2022 to 2023, we merged our allocation from the government’s Household Support Fund with other government grants and topped those up with council funding to create a Southwark Cost of Living Fund. We did the same in 2023 to 2024 and will do so again this year.
