If you’ve experienced an unexpected expense which means you can’t cover the cost of energy, food or other essential bills, you may be eligible for financial help from the Household Support Fund.
Check if you’re eligible for the Household Support Fund and apply. If you’ve received any of the low income cost of living support payments from the Government for 2023/24, you won’t be able to apply at this time.
Some of this funding is allocated directly to eligible households while some will be distributed to local partners to help people using their services.
Please note that this is not an emergency response fund (unlike the Emergency Assistance Fund), and applications will take some time to consider.
If you’re struggling to afford enough food, call Citizens Advice Swindon on 0808 278 7813 between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday, to discuss options based on your circumstances. This could include a referral to the food bank in Swindon.
