Introduction
If you’re finding things tough right now, help is available. You might be able to get support with the cost of food, energy, water, and other essentials over the coming months.
Somerset Council is also giving out £6.74 million in support between April 2025 and March 2026 through the Government’s Household Support Fund.
This programme is funded by Somerset Council, and we’re working with schools and local community organisations to make sure families and residents get the help they need.
There are also support networks and resources available locally and online.
