**Household Support Fund Update**In April, the Government announced an additional £842 million of funding to support vulnerable families in the UK through the Household Support Fund. This scheme was established in 2021, following the pandemic, to support families struggling to pay for bills, food and other essentials. This funding has been shared with local authorities, who can decide how to allocate this money. I am pleased to update that Derbyshire County Council have decided to share this support with all families who have fallen on hard times, regardless of benefit status. This means working families who are struggling can access support.A one-off award of £64, plus an additional £20 for each dependent, child or spouse, is available to help those households who are struggling to pay bills or cover their costs of living. A household can access this support up to 3 times in any 12-month period.To find out more about the Household Support Fund in Derbyshire, and how to access help, please visit: ... See MoreSee Less
