The Household Support Fund has been extended until March 2026, providing £6.74 million from the UK government to assist families, older resident, and those facing financial hardship. Funds are allocated for food vouchers, community hubs, crisis support, hospital discharge aid, and utility bill reductions for young people. The program aims to lessen the impact of the ongoing cost of living crisis. More information is available on the Somerset Council’s website – Somerset Household Support Fund
