Household Support Fund
If you’re struggling with day to day living costs such as food, energy costs or essential household items, help is at hand from South Hams District Council’s Household Support Fund (funded by the UK Government). SHDC are encouraging people to apply.
Published: 6 December 2024
The scheme offers one-off financial payments, or other support, within a six-month period. This support could be buying food, paying bills or help to buy household goods. SHDC recognise that no every challenge that residents face can be predicted, so we will be accepting applications for other essential types of support which can’t be budgeted for that deliver the aims of this scheme. These items will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
