Providing short-term, urgent financial help to Somerset residents who cannot afford household essentials.
If you’re struggling to afford basic household items like food or energy bills (including prepayment meters), the Household Support Fund can offer short-term financial help.
This fund is paid for by the Department for Work and Pensions. You can learn more and apply online through the GOV.UK website.
Each household can apply once per funding round. If you’ve applied before and your situation hasn’t changed, you can still get support.
Applications must be made online.
