Household Support Funding For South Holland - Status: PAUSED

We have been working with South Holland District Council for the last 3 years to distribute some of their Household Support Funding.

If you are an South Holland resident and are struggling financially, please visit Cost of Living Support – South Holland District Council or speak with an advisor at your local Citizens Advice on 0808 278 7996

We launched the final version of the Household Support Fund on Monday 5th January 2026.

URGENT UPDATE 20th JAN 2026 – This fund is currently oversubscribed with the number of applications received exceeding the amount of funds available, as such the fund has now been paused and may not re-open.

You can also access help through a variety of support services outlined on our main Household Support Fund page or in the Money Saving Guide.

We remind you that it can take up to 3 weeks for an outcome of whether your application has been successful.

ALL APPLICATIONS RECEIVED BEFORE THIS DATE WILL STILL BE PROCESSED.

If you would like to be contacted if this funding should re-open please leave your details below.

By completing this form, you understand that the Household Support Fund (HSF) may not re-open. This form is not an application for funding. Your contact details will be stored by the HSF team, and you will not be contacted unless the fund re-opens.
