Household Support Fund

Money to help if you're struggling with food, bills, or energy costs.

The 7th round of the Household Support Fund (HSF) opened on 22nd September 2025 and will run until March 2026. This round is focused on making a greater impact for a smaller number of clients and is available by invitation only.

Please note that the eligibility criteria for this round of support has changed and clients who previously received HSF may not be eligible in this round.

If you are eligible to receive support, you will be contacted directly by Citizens Advice Wokingham, Age UK Berkshire or First Days Children’s Charity, who will carry out a full assessment of your needs.
