Apply for the Household Support Fund

The Household Support Fund is available to households who are in financial crisis and have substantial energy debts.

The current Household Support fund awarded to Cumberland has now been allocated and therefore the online application form has now closed.

Central Government has announced that further Funding will be available and we are awaiting the final details on how that will be distributed.

Should you find yourself in crisis please contact the Health & Wellbeing Team on 0300 373 3730 where further advice can be provided
