If you receive certain benefits and are a Southwark resident, you can apply for emergency help.
We’ll let you know our decision by email. If you’re successful, we’ll let you know how your award will be made and what to do next.
SESS has limited funding so we can only help those with the greatest need. We will ask you for evidence to support your application. If you can’t provide this, we may refuse it.
We’ll refer you to other local support and advice services if we think it'll help you. In some cases, we may refer you to these services rather than make an award under SESS.
If you provide false or incomplete information, you may be prosecuted.
