Millions of pounds were handed out in the last round
A cost of living support fund to help residents in Nottingham is due to be launched next month. The £11 million pot of cash given to the city council from central Goverment will be distributed to help those in need pay for energy bills, school meals and food shopping.
What is the Household Support Fund? The Government has allocated millions of pounds to councils across the country to distribute locally to help with the cost of living. This money is on top of the national energy rebate for all households, which comes to an end this month and the regular cost of living payments given nationally to benefit claimants.
Money given to Nottingham City Council was allocated in the following way, according to the council's official guidance:When the Household Support Fund reopens For the 2023 to 2024 Household Support Fund, Nottingham City Council has been given £7,113,868 and it is up to the council how it is allocated. Nottinghamshire as a whole has been granted £11,292,900.
Nottingham City Council explained: "Other support for energy, food and essential supplies will commence from May 1, 2023 onwards though our network of community partners and organisations supporting vulnerable residents."
